Vial of Life

What is the vial of life program?

The vial of life program, run by the City of Leduc Fire Services, is designed for members of the community with medical conditions that may leave them unable to communicate with the paramedics.

The vial of life contains:

  • 1 large medication vial that is placed in the refrigerator
  • 1 pamphlet for each person of the household with a condition that contains information about the individual (eg. name, Alberta Health Care #, medical conditions, allergies), placed inside the vial
  • 2 elastic bands to hang the vial from the wire rack inside the fridge
  • 1 sticker that is placed on the main entrance of your residence. This will alert the paramedics that there is a vial on site if needed.

You may also place a copy of your do not resuscitate (advanced directive) order inside your vial of life. If you have questions about the vial of life, or if you would like to obtain a vial of life please call 780.980.7275.
