Picture this: Emergency medical personnel arrive at your home, only to find
you alone and unconscious or confused. They have few facts at their
disposal. Do you have any existing conditions? Are you taking medications?
Do you have any allergies? The EMTs frantically search through your medicine
cabinet looking for clues, while precious
seconds tick by.
The File of Life© is a card containing important medical information
essential to those responding to an emergency situation. There is a large
card, which slips into a magnetized, bright red pocket for prominent display
on your refrigerator and ready accessibility to EMTs. A smaller one, for
carrying in your wallet or purse, can assist
hospital emergency staff. The cards contain space for emergency contacts,
doctors’ names, medical conditions, medications, surgeries, allergies,
medical insurance information, etc., and Palatine Township is pleased to be
offering them free of charge to our residents. Just stop by Palatine
Township Center, 721 S. Quentin Road
Suite 101, Palatine, and
ask for the File of Life©!
PLEASE REMEMBER—THEY ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE
INFORMATION
THEY CONTAIN. BE SURE TO KEEP IT CURRENT! |
