VIAL of L.I.F.E. -- For Long Beach: How to Get Help with Medications

How to Get Help with Medications

Do you, or does someone you know, need help affording prescription drugs? Did you know that the pharmaceutical industry provides prescription drugs to people who qualify for assistance?

There are also government programs to help people afford prescription drugs.

Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske has established www.rxforlongbeach.com which links residents with several resources to obtain free or significantly reduced prescription medications directly from the pharmaceutical companies.

Dear Long Beach Resident:

The VIAL of L.I.F.E. is Lifesaving Information For Emergencies. It's a place for you to store important medical information that emergency medical personnel (firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and hospital staff) need in a time of crisis.

The VIAL of L.I.F.E. Program is designed to speak for you when you are unable to speak for yourself. The information contained within the vial will provide pre-hospital and hospital providers with essential details that will aid in providing appropriate medical treatment.

The VIAL of L.I.F.E. contains much of the medical history needed by the responding emergency personnel, such as existing medical conditions, allergies, medications currently being taken, and emergency contact information.

It is very important that you keep this information up-to-date, accurate, and placed in the top right shelf of your refrigerator.

VIAL of L.I.F.E. is brought to you as a public service by Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske with the assistance of the Long Beach Firefighters Association, Walmart, St. Mary Medical Center and Seaside Printing Company.
