The File of Life is a magnetized pouch containing a person’s medical information that is placed on the refrigerator in case of emergency.

In rural areas, the information – obtained immediately by first responders who know right where to find it – can mean the difference between life and death. Hospital emergency departments report that the File of Life significantly speeds the triage process, especially for elderly and disoriented patients.

If you or someone you know could benefit from a File Of Life, please contact us at 716-372-0617 or on our website: https://www.sthcs.org/file-of-life

Keep little ones safe! Always use the dosing device that comes with liquid medicine—not a kitchen spoon. If another caregiver is giving medicine, write down what, how much, and when.
A little preparation can help prevent medication mistakes.

September is Baby Safety Month, we want to help families create a safer sleep environment for every baby.

Remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep:

A – Alone: Baby should sleep alone, without pillows, blankets, toys, or other soft items.
B – Back: Always place baby on their back for every sleep.
C – Crib: Use a firm, flat sleep surface such as a crib, bassinet, or play yard with a fitted sheet.

Keep baby’s sleep space clear, flat, and firm, and room-share without bed-sharing whenever possible.

Every sleep. Every nap. Every time. Safe sleep saves lives.
