Emergency Responders Look for This Kit

This Sticker Could Save Your Life


When an emergency strikes, Borrego Springs EMS and firefighters are trained to look for Vial of Life decals—on your front door and refrigerator. These small stickers tell first responders that your essential medical information is close by.


For seniors, people with health conditions, or anyone living alone, the Vial of Life is a simple, affordable tool that saves lives.


“The Vial of Life is designed to speak for you when you can’t speak for yourself.”
