File of Life packets available for seniors and others

The File of Life emergency information packets are available at Elder Options for seniors and persons with medical conditions. Hospitals, EMTs, police, and fire departments endorse this life saving packet.

The File of Life is a medical file that is placed on a home refrigerator that can be quickly accessed by emergency personnel, during an emergency. The File of Life lists medications, medical conditions, and any allergic substances for the individual. Physician’s names and phone numbers, insurance information, emergency contacts, and a description of other special circumstances are listed for emergency personnel.

File of Life packets are free to seniors 60 years of age. Members of the public who are younger than 60 years old can acquire the Files for a $5 donation. All donations are applied to the purchase of additional File of Life packets.
