The Vial of L.I.F.E program is a free service provided by New Castle County Emergency Medical Services to all seniors and disabled residents of New Castle County. The vial of L.I.F.E stands for Lifesaving Information For Emergencies.
The Vial of L.I.F.E program is a Medical information form that you complete, place in the provided new medication bottle that is labeled Vial of L.I.F.E and place in your refrigerator. The form to complete includes your medical history, daily medications, demographics, doctor, hospital preference and an emergency contact.
The medication bottle is kept in your fridge in direct view. A provided Vial of L.I.F.E magnet is placed on the front of your refrigerator that signifies that you are part of the program.
The Vial of Life assists EMS responding to your home. EMS will look for the magnet on your refrigerator and obtain your pertinent & confidential medical information and demographics. This program assists EMS in quickly and appropriately treating you during a crisis.
