Abstract: An emergency health history kit includes a housing which may be a transparent or translucent plastic case, or a paper envelope. At least one medical and emergency information card is disposed within the housing. Such cards include printed prompts and spaces for filling in personally identifying information, medical history information and medical care provider information for that individual. To offset the cost of the emergency health history kit, and enable it to be given as a promotional item free of charge, a sponsor or distributor identifying indicia is imprinted or otherwise associated with the housing, and at least one redeemable coupon or printed offer is disposed within the housing.
