Responding to Medical Emergencies

Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students,

Fortunately we do not have many medical emergencies on our campus. However, with as many students as we enroll each term, there are a few occasions when a student, staff or faculty member needs emergency medical attention. In cases where an emergency response is needed, we ask that you exercise good judgment by calling 911 and waiting for EMT arrival. Please do not attempt to advise, move, medicate, or transport persons who are in need of emergency medical attention. You may stay with the person and confer with 911 personnel while awaiting their arrival, but please exercise restraint from taking on a role for which you are not trained.

Thanks for your understanding and support.
