File of Life
Lifesaving Information For Emergencies
The FILE OF LIFE enables emergency first responders to obtain
critical information quickly when an individual is unable to. The
FILE OF LIFE is a card with your medical history that includes your
emergency medical contact, insurance policy, social security number,
health problems, medications, dosages, allergies, recent surgery,
religion and a health care proxy. The card is kept in a red plastic
pocket and is held with a magnet to the outside of the refrigerator.
The FILE OF LIFE is available at the following Des Plaines
locations:
- The Civic Center, Health and Human Services Division, Room 502
- The Des Plaines Public Library, 1501 Ellinwood
- The Police Neighborhood Resource Center, 1928 E. Touhy
- The Des Plaines Community and Frisbie Senior Centers,
- 515 E. Thacker Street and 52 E. Northwest Highway
This program is sponsored by The City of Des Plaines Fire and
Police Departments and the Health and Human Services Division.
For more information please contact the City of Des Plaines
Health and Human Services Division at 847-391-5480.
The FILE OF LIFE could make the difference between
life and death.
