emergency contacts

How do you add two numbers to your emergency contact. It automatically selects her mobile number. But I would like to add her home phone as well. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I believe that has to do with the fact that the iPhone uses Emergency Contacts to send a text message to, not a phone call.


However, when I go to Settings>Health>Medical ID, then tap on Edit, if I go to add someone under Emergency Contacts, when I go to Contacts, I have the option to select any number that is listed in the contact card. Is that what you are seeing?
