“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” Franklin D. Roosevelt
Welcome to MED Card Services
Our goal is to provide you with a solution that will limit the amount of harassment and abuse that may come from those unaware of your disability. It is our goal to assist you in having a way to inform those around you and allow you to experience your day to day life without added stress, fear and/or anxiety.
We want you to feel safe and empowered while conducting your day to day activities. Using our visual MED Card as a method of Communicating your Exemption will allow you to avoid lengthy explanations regarding your Health & Wellbeing and immediately make others aware so that they too feel comfortable about your needs.

The collateral damage that is being caused by Face coverings has far exceeded the benefit of wearing one. To protect your Mental & Physical wellbeing you may have chosen to declare your disability and keep yourself safe.
Using your MED Card also allows others who use MED Card to easily identify you and possibly offer assistance if required. We are a community and together we can be stronger.
- Simply place it around your neck whenever you leave the house and are planning to access public areas.
- When entering any business or public place simply enter confidently without drawing attention to yourself.
- When entering allow space for Face Covering Wearers to enter or exit by giving them 6ft of distance.
- If you are stopped by security or a member of staff and asked to wear a mask, you may use this response: “I cannot wear a face covering”. In most cases this will suffice as staff and security have been trained to understand exemptions. If they persist, kindly hold your MED Card and tell them politely that you are exempt.
- If you are refused entry you may request to speak to a manager or supervisor at which time you can ask what their policy and procedure is for those who are exempt from wearing a mask. Allow them to offer you their services in a manner that satisfies both parties and does not discriminate your exemption. You must be fair and accept alternative services if they provide them.
- You do not have to reveal your Personal Health Details to anyone. This is Private & Confidential. They should know this.
- If you have been mistreated or refused service, and were calm and respectful during your entire interaction, than we want to know about it! Email us with your story and the name of the Premises.
- If you are approached by Face Covering Wearers always remain calm and simply hold out your card. Maintain your distance and continue confidently about your business.
- Never engage in arguments with Face Covering Wearers who are afraid and therefore potentially rude and misinformed.
- Tell your friends about MED Card so that they too can declare their exemption.
Face Covering
Please be respectful of those wearing a Mask or Face covering and maintain physical distance. Declaring an exemption does not give you the right to treat others with disrespect. Please always be calm and do not engage in arguments or debate regarding other’s choices. If you feel you have been unjustly treated, you may contact a lawyer who specializes in Discriminatory Law.
Frequently Asked Questions
“Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Disability is thus not just a health problem. It is a complex phenomenon, reflecting the interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives.”
— World Health Organization, Disabilities[1]

We are a Wellbeing company and have worked with many people who are experiencing Mental Health challenges as a direct result of the unprecedented actions made by Government to limit Covid 19 transmission. These actions have left people feeling outcasted from society and in many cases experiencing bullying by the public due to their disability which prevents them from safely complying with Government and Corporate policies. We wanted to help those people by creating a tool that alerts those around them so that they may be free to perform their daily tasks without stress, fear and/or anxiety.
Your Health is Personal and Confidential. We offer these cards as a way for you to communicate that you are declaring an exemption. We are not an authorizing body and DO NOT CLAIM to be. We simply offer a communication service.
Pre-Purchase TERMS
