Northwest Herald Runs Story on Autistic, Alzheimer and Down Syndrome Walk-Away Locater

I knew it was too big a story for the Northwest Herald to ignore.

It’s the story about Advocate Good Shepherd’s financing a Dick Tracy-like wrist radio which will be used to find lost kids and adults prone to wandering.

At last Saturday’s announcement at Good Shepherd’s new Intermediate Care facility across from the Pingree Road Metra Station, the folks behind the new program were introduced.

The NW Herald’s Kurt Begalka interviews some of them for his Friday article.

He also plays off McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren’s press release.

The program will start January 1st. Logistics are being handled by Family Alliance.
Cost for the wrist radio is $246. A new batter costing $8 must be obtained each month.
