Capsule of Life^®

The EMS Foundation, in partnership with AHS Emergency Medical Services, provides the Capsule of Life program.

The complete kit consists of: a plastic capsule, health and contact information forms to be placed in the capsule, an orange static sticker, an instruction leaflet, and a Foundation donation leaflet*. The orange static sticker is placed on the outside of the fridge to alert paramedic staff of the capsule's presence inside the refrigerator.

This program promotes the importance of having medical information stored in an easily identifiable location for EMS personnel. When a patient cannot speak for themselves, the information recorded on the medical information forms can mean the difference between life or death.

*The capsules are provided at no cost.
