File of Life Program


When every second counts.

The File of Life is a program developed by TRIAD to quickly and accurately provide important medical facts in the midst of a life-threatening emergency.

Sometimes, a patient in a medical emergency is unable to communicate important medical facts about themselves. The File of Life provides responding emergency personnel with a quick and accurate medical history.  AND IT IS FREE!!!

Each File of Life kit contains a blank medical card, plastic pocket, and a decal. The card should be filled out in pencil, to allow changes, with the patient's name, medical history, prescription information, and emergency medical contact numbers. The medical card slips into the plastic magnetic pocket that protects the card and the patient's privacy. The entire magnetic pocket is attached to the outside of the refrigerator. The small, highly-visual decal is then attached to the front door or window to alert emergency personnel to the presence of the File of Life.

  • Fill out the card using a pencil!
  • Place the card in the plastic magnetic pocket.
