Sonora, CA — This Saturday the Tuolumne County Ambulance Paramedics and EMT´s will distribute Vials Of Life in Sonora Hills and the Forestview Senior Apartments.

The Vial Of Life is lifesaving information for emergencies. The vial is a small plastic pill-like container that contains an individual´s vital medical information and is stored in the refrigerator.
