BARBARA HILLARY, FIRST FEMALE AFRICAN AMERICAN TO TREK TO NORTH POLE, BECOMES LIFE ALERT MEMBER

Barbara Hillary, a very active senior indeed, recently trekked to the North Pole, becoming the first African American woman to do so. After her return, she signed up with Life Alert, showing a trend that Life Alert reports is more and more common: active mature adults signing up for their service, in addition to the elderly and home-bound seniors who are most often associated with the medical alarm company.

Ms. Hillary is basking in much media attention, but she is not resting on her laurels. In fact, she is not really resting at all, since she now plans to trek to that other hot spot of cold climes: the SOUTH Pole!
