Medical Emergency
If you encounter a serious medical situation such as unconsciousness, difficulty breathing, severe allergic reactions, or chest pain, don’t hesitate to call us immediately.
Illness/Injury
Examples include:
- Sports-related injury
- Bleeding that will not stop
- Injury to the head with lasting symptoms
- Injury to your arm or leg that is getting worse
Our job is emergency medical care and therefore we do not work to provide help with more minor illnesses or injuries. If you need assistance, your options include:
- Contacting the health center (during business hours)
- Calling the RN Fonemed service available through the health center number (after hours and on weekends)
- Local urgent care
- Local hospital emergency room
Additional Information
If you have any questions or would like to know more about our emergency medical services agency, please feel free to reach out to the Hamilton College emergency medical services director, David Goldman, at dgoldman@hamilton.edu or ask our EMTs around campus. Note, we start our application process for next year's rookie EMT class at the beginning of the spring semester.
