Sanilac EMS, through McKenzie Health System, is now offering free “File of Life” packets during home visits to help residents prepare for emergencies. These forms list vital medical info—like medications, conditions, and emergency contacts—and are placed on refrigerators or carried in wallets. First responders are trained to spot them, which can save precious time during a crisis. McKenzie Health leaders say the program is part of their ongoing mission to improve local health and safety, one home at a time across Sanilac County.
