File of Life Program
The File of Life Program is a free service provided to make life-saving information accessible to ambulance and rescue personnel responding to medical emergencies. Your information is recorded before a medical emergency occurs; it is intended to make your information available in case you cannot communicate (for example if you are unconscious).
We provide a special folder called a File of Life. This small folder is magnetic and to be kept on your refrigerator. EMS personnel responding to an emergency will always know to check if your medical information is there.
The File of Life contains your current list of medications, allergy information, medical conditions, hospital preference, doctor's information, and emergency contact information. Your File of Life should also include your Do Not Resuscitate orders, Living Will and any other decisions you wish to make about your medical care. All information is confidential.
The program is open to all county residents and everyone is strongly encouraged to participate. To participate in the program, please fill out the form below, call the Clear Creek Health Assistance Team at (303) 670-7566, or email CCHAT@clearcreekems.com. We can mail the document to your home. Or, if you like, we will send our friendly community paramedic out to hand-deliver the information and assist you with completing the forms.
