Los Angeles, CA : July 1, 2006 -- Isaac Shepher, the president and founder of Life Alert Emergency Response, Inc., won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2006 Award in the Retail And Consumer Products category in the Greater Los Angeles area. According to Ernst & Young, the award recognizes outstanding entrepreneurs who are building and leading dynamic and growing businesses. Mr. Shepher was selected by an independent panel of judges to receive the award, which was presented June 27, 2006 at an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year gala at the Beverly Hilton.
“I am not only rewarded financially through the success of Life Alert, I am also blessed by the extraordinary opportunity to save lives every hour of every day, 365 days a year,” said Mr. Shepher, who founded Life Alert - a leader in Personal Emergency Response Services - with his wife Miri in 1987. Their company, recognized nationwide for its slogan (“Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”), provides subscribers with state-of-the-art home monitoring and protection. Endorsed by former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop, Life Alert gives subscribers the peace of mind to keep living longer in their own homes. Seniors living alone rely on Life Alert’s 24/7 response system to ensure protection against medical, theft, fire or other emergencies.
