The vials come with a blank medical information form, a Vial of L.I.F.E. sticker and a magnet. You can pick one up at any Bartells for just $1 (with net proceeds benefiting the Medic One Foundation). Here’s how they work:
• Complete the form with your vital medical information, such as important phone numbers, preferred hospital, medical conditions, insurance information, medications you take; it even has boxes to check for Power of Attorney and “Do not resuscitate.”
• Put the completed form in the vial and place it on the top shelf inside your refrigerator door.
• Put the Vial of L.I.F.E. sticker on the front door of your house or an adjacent window.
• Place the magnet on the front of your refrigerator.
Why the refrigerator? Because emergency responders have been trained to look for the vial in that location if they see a Vial of L.I.F.E. sticker on or near your front door or the magnet on your refrigerator. What’s more, in case of fire, your refrigerator acts as a safe, protecting your vital information inside. Pick up a Vial of L.I.F.E. today; complete the form and place it in your refrigerator. It’s more than a cool idea, it could save your life!
