VIAL of L.I.F.E. -- For Long Beach: Instruction Sheet

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.
