Vial of Life

The Round Lake Park Police Department has officially launched its Vial of Life Program.

Approximately 75 residents attended a community meeting at the Saddlebrook Farms Lake Lodge. Chief George Filenko gave a presentation on the Vial of Life. Vial of Life packets with information sheets were distributed to attendees. These holders have preprinted docucuments and a magnet attached to them for easy mounting onto refrigerators. Additional packets are available to all Round Lake Park Residents for free at the Round Lake Park Police Department or simply flag down an officer and request a Vial of Life packet.

The Vial of Life is a program that allows individuals to have their complete medical information ready in their home for emergency personnel to reference during an emergency. This program is used to provide the patient’s medical information when a patient is not able to speak or remember this information. Vial of Life programs are commonly used by Senior Citizens and are promoted by senior center organizations, fire and police departments, and other community organizations. The decals, medical information forms, and other materials are typically free, and some may be downloaded and/or printed for free from the internet. Vial of Life Download.
