The Vial of Life Project (Life-saving Information for Emergencies) is free and easy! The program provides you with a system to store your medical history and have it accessible for emergency personnel, particularly if you are unconscious or unable to communicate.

It is crucial for first responders and hospital staff to be aware of your medical history, medications and allergies BEFORE they can properly and safely begin treatment. Please remember that is important to keep the information in the packet accurate and up-to-date.
