has graciously invested back into the community in order to promote the saving of lives. Steve Pierce recognized a very unique opportunity to assist our local first responders through an ingenious initiative that could help save lives.
The Vitalboards initiative, which is available from
, is comprised of a write-on-wipe-off magnetic memo board that can be affixed to refrigerators. The memo board is available in both English and Spanish. These useful boards will have a Monday through Sunday planner, shopping list, note area and important phone numbers section. A wet erase marker with mounting clip will accompany the board, which should be placed on the front of the refrigerator door. What makes the Vitalboards initiative unique is that on the reverse side of each one, there is room for each resident to record critical health information. This vital information includes questions taken from surveyed EMS / Fire / Police and ER staff and represents a portion of the required documentation needed in the event of a medical emergency. This “need to know” information could help save a life if the resident is unable to speak or is otherwise incapacitated. Homeowners are instructed to fill out this information as accurately and legibly as possible. A small weatherproof sticker is also included, which should be affixed on or near the front door of each residence.
In the event of an emergency at the residence, first responders can identify the location of the Vitalboard on display to retrieve the homeowner’s vital information. These boards can then be easily taken on the ambulance to the hospital, where ER staff can further access this critical information. Remember, time is of the essence when saving lives!
