Injuries/Illnesses: Medical Assistance

Whenever injuries or illnesses occur that require medical assistance, the Department of Public Safety shall be contacted by dialing 911 or using an emergency phone. If you use a cell phone on campus, dial 831-2222. If it is a serious injury, request the ambulance immediately. Do not hang up. They will transfer your call to the County Fire Board who will send the appropriate ambulance depending upon the situation. For non-emergent medical issues, the UD Emergency Care Unit (UD-1) will likely respond if available and transport the injured person to the appropriate medical office as listed below.
