“Vial of Life” project 50% complete – The “Vial of Life” distribution being made by the GF Primghar Woman’s Club is now about 50% complete and the women who are dispensing the vials to the homes in Primghar will continue their work until everyone is reached who can be contacted. The “Vial of Life” is a program to help emergency medical teams and doctors to determine the correct procedures to follow in case the patient is unable to supply vital medical information. It has proven to be most successful in a number of areas where the program has been adopted and Primghar can benefit from this program if all residents will use it. The Baum-Harmon Hospital and the Marian Health Care Volunteer Services Office in Sioux City are to be commended for their part in furnishing the vials and kits for the community.
