BRING THE VIAL OF L.I.F.E. INTO YOUR HOME
Lifesaving Information For Emergencies
Your Basic Medical Information Can Save Your Life
Vial of Life is designed to speak for you when you can’t speak for yourself. The "vial", a simple baggie, contains important medical information that can assist emergency personnel in administering the proper medical treatment in the event that you are injured or ill at home. A medical information form, recent photo, copy of insurance card and/or other pertinent health information is placed in an obvious place such as the front of your refrigerator. A Vial of Life Decal can be placed on your front door or window so first responders know to look for the information.
When you face a medical emergency, you may be scared, anxious, in pain, confused or unable to speak for yourself. It is during those times that the form and information in your Vial Of LIFE will speak for you, providing first responders with the information they need to give you the most appropriate emergency care.
While useful for all family members, it is especially important for senior citizens, those living alone, or those who are chronically ill.
This program is being sponsored by the New Bern Woman's Club in partnership with Craven County Emergency Services, Carolina East Emergency Medical Services, and the New Bern Police Department.
