Baldwin County Council on Aging offers Vial of Life Program
During medical emergencies, it can be difficult to answer all of the questions that first responders may be asking. The Baldwin County Council on Aging offers a FREE service called the Vial of Life Program that may be particularly helpful for those with a complex medical history.
Through the Vial of Life program, first responders will have all critical and essential information at their fingertips.
A red Vial of Life decal is placed on the front door of the residence making it visible to first responders. A second Vial of Life decal is placed on a Ziploc bag, containing complete medical information. The bag is then placed on the refrigerator door for easy access and viewing.
Information First Responders need to know:
- What is your name?
- What medications are you currently taking?
- What illnesses do you have?
- Who is your emergency contact?
- What is your normal blood pressure?
- Are you wearing any hearing or seeing devices?
- Additionally, hospital staff will need information related to insurance coverage.
The Council on Aging is available to assist with filling out the medical form and will provide the two Vial of Life decals and Ziploc bag.
For more information, or to schedule a presentation for a group or organization about the Vial of Life Program please call the Baldwin County Council on Aging at 251.972.8506.
