Act Now to Prepare for Any Emergency
Preparing for a medical emergency before it happens can make a stressful situation easier to manage. Community members are invited to attend the “Medical Go Bags” Vermont Department of Health Presentation on Wednesday, October 28 at 1 p.m., at the Mt. Holly Community Center.
A medical go bag is a portable kit containing essential medical supplies, personal items, and important documents that can quickly accompany you if an ambulance transports you to the hospital, or if you need to leave home unexpectedly.
During this free presentation, participants will learn how to assemble a personalized, ready-to-use medical go bag that can be kept by the front door for quick access in an emergency. The program is especially helpful for individuals living with chronic or newly diagnosed health conditions, as well as anyone who wants to be better prepared and organized should an emergency arise.
Individuals of all ages and caregivers are welcome to attend.
Participants will receive a fillable medical history form to include in their go bag, along with guidance on what essential items and documents to pack, and tips for keeping medical information organized and up to date. Medical Go Bags have been donated and will be available.
