The free Vital Medical Information File is a Putnam County program designed to ensure that all citizens receive prompt and appropriate medical care in accordance with their wishes. It consists of a red envelope with a magnet on the back, designed to hold all of a person’s vital medical information in one convenient and accessible location – on the person’s refrigerator.
When fully implemented, the Vital Medical Information File ensures that all of a person’s important medical information is in one place and is easily accessible to you or a caregiver when going to the doctor, and to EMT’s arriving on an emergency call. By creating a personal Vital Medical Information File, citizens are empowered to be their own healthcare advocates, even should they become unable to speak for themselves.
Instructions and information about completing the paperwork in the Vital Medical Information File are included in the file and are available here.
