Agenda Text
1. Durham County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is extending their Vial of Life Program to include Autism and Special Healthcare Needs for people living in Durham. The Vial of L.I.F.E (Lifesaving Information for Emergencies) is a complete and accurate record of medical information which individuals can store in their home and vehicle that provides first responders with key information in case of an emergency. The Vial of Life is designed to speak for a person in detail when they are unable to do so.
To request a free Vial of LIFE, send an email to emsvialrequest@dconc.gov <mailto:emsvialrequest@dconc.gov> or call 919-560-8285. To learn more about how the Durham County EMS nationally recognized Vial of Life works and supporting materials, visit the Durham County EMS website
