The Sumter County Sheriff's Office  promotes theThe "Vial Of Life" program. This program is designed to provide needed information to emergency personnel in situations where you are unable to do so. The information in the vial should include medical history, medications and dosage, doctor's name, emergency contact numbers, hospital preference, and other information.

The container is located in your refrigerator within your house. This location is used as it is a common appliance in all homes and the contents of a refrigerator remain undamaged during a fire. Law enforcement, Fire Departments and Emergency Personnel are trained to look for the "Vial Of Life" in your refrigerator.

We will me meeting to discuss how to spread the word on this program and tell you how you can participate..
