Vial of Life Program

About the Program
This program is intended to provide citizens with a method to store important medical information in their homes for access by emergency responders. The Vial of Life enables emergency responders (paramedics, firefighters and police officers) to obtain helpful information regarding a patient’s medical history. This is especially important if the patient is unconscious or is unable to speak to the emergency responders.
