Senior Health Subcommittee

Focuses on medication safety, balance and fall prevention, transportation, File of Life, & complete resource list for seniors.

File of Life

The File of Life envelope is a medical information packet designed to provide emergency personnel with necessary medical data to begin immediate treatment. This very simple concept has saved thousands of lives and we are proud to offer this service to seniors in our community.

Please call 541-667-3509 for your free File of Life envelope.
