This Cool & Simple Program could save your life

From the Bartell's website

There’s a new program at Bartells that could save your life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. It’s called Vial of L.I.F.E.© and we’ve teamed up with the Medic One Foundation to bring it to you. L.I.F.E. stands for Lifesaving Information For Emergencies and the idea is so simple you might wonder why no one has thought of it before.

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!
