Local 717 Members
Reach Out to the Community through Files of Life Initiative 
February 08, 2010
Members of Local R1-717, EMS professionals with Enfield EMS of Connecticut, are reaching out to their community through a "Files of Life" campaign aimed at area senior citizens.
Local 717 recently teamed up with Files of Life, a non-profit organization who promotes life saving ideas in the community, to distribute magnets and information cards to area seniors. The magnets and cards provide spaces for residents to fill out emergency medical information, effectively making it easier for EMS professionals and other first responders to gain access to this potentially life saving data.
"We began handing out materials at a recent event in our community senior center," said Local 717 Secretary Karen Zak. "Our members have everything in the trucks now and are handing them out as we go to houses."
