Vial of Life

Bring the Vial of Life into Your Home

Your basic medical information can save your life

The Vial of Life is designed to speak for you when you can’t speak for yourself. The vial contains important medical information that can assist emergency personnel in administering the proper medical treatment.

The first thing first responders want to know is your list of medications. The difference between life and death when you’ve had a heart attack could be a copy of your previous EKG. When you can’t speak for yourself, when you are confused, in pain or scared, the Vial of Life can speak for you. 

There are 3 simple steps to getting your Vial of Life kit ready. You can also save and store your Vial of Life information at  VialofLife.com for easy access for changing medical and doctor information in the future.
