Rotary Circle of Life

The Rotary Circle of Life program, in partnership with the Archbold Foundation and emergency responders will provide health/medical information in the homes of senior citizens for emergency medical responders when called to the senior citizens' residence. This two step program involves a simple decal notification (Step 1) on the front door or window telling the responder that a plastic tube/vial (Step 2) containing important health information is located in the refrigerator on the top shelf. This plastic tube/vial will be identified with the same decal used on the front door or window.

Attached is the brochure created to engage local community members in the program.

Education of local city and county emergency medical technicians and rescue personnel has already been conducted. The project has been enthusiastically embraced. Distribution of materials will be handled by several different local organizations including EMS, both branches of the YMCA, black community churches, Thomasville First United Methodist church, and many more.

This will be a continuing project and It is estimated that the club will have $1000 of expense every six months to maintain the project over the years. The project enhances the Rotary brand by demonstrating our concern for community health.

Our vision is for the Rotary Circle of Life to expand in the next years in cooperation with our sister Rotary Clubs in Moultrie, Pelham, Bainbridge, and Cairo to the Southwest Georgia served by Archbold Medical System.
