What is the Vial of Life Program?
The Vial of Life program is designed to make needed information available to emergency personnel in the event of a medical emergency. It contains information helps EMT’s determine if a patient is on medications or has medical conditions as they enter a home and there is no one to answer on behalf of the patient.
How Does it Work?
The Williston Fire Department will provide participants with a refrigerator magnet, a medicine bottle, and a form. The form has areas for personal information, current medical conditions, past medical history, medications, allergies, advanced directives, and emergency contact information. The Vial of Life is kept on the refrigerator door to be easily located by EMTs.
How Do I Get a Vial?
The Vial of Life is available at the Williston Fire Department located at 645 Talcott Rd. You can also download new forms online from our website (see downloadable file below). Updating your form allows for the best care - we encourage people to do it twice a year when you change your clocks - and the batteries in your detectors!
