Medical emergencies are NOT managed in Student Health. Types of emergencies or health care issues that should be evaluated and managed in an emergency medical facility include:
          Severe pain
          Deep cuts or lacerations
          Suspected broken bones

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, go to the nearest emergency medical facility. Parkland Memorial Hospital and St. Paul University Hospital have emergency medical facilities on our campus. If you choose to receive emergent care on campus, we suggest going to St. Paul for a significantly shorter wait time. You are also free to go to an emergency medical facility near your home.

If you are not sure if you need to go an emergency medical facility, call our office (214-645-8690) and we will help you make this decision.

If you have an after-hours need, you can call the number above and the answering service will have the on-call physician contact you.

For mental health emergencies, call the main Student Mental Health number (214-645-8680) and follow the voice prompts to reach the Student Mental Health answering service. An on-call psychiatrist will return your call.
