Medical Emergency

If you have an emergency situation, use any campus phone to dial 911. Campus dispatch will contact the appropriate response group to aid you.

In case of a medical emergency on campus always dial 911 and stay on the line. Emergency Medical Technicians from the UCSC Fire Department will respond and call an ambulance for you if necessary.

If you are a UCSC student, Urgent Care Clinic services are available at the Cowell Student Health Center during the day on a walk-in basis for illnesses or injuries. If students need care after the Health Center is closed, there are various Urgent Care facilities in town as well as the Dominican Hospital Emergency Room. Please ensure that you are aware of the limitations and terms of your insurance coverage beforehand.

For staff and faculty, emergency procedures vary depending on the severity and circumstances of the situation. Injuries requiring medical evacuation by ambulance will generally be taken to Dominican Hospital Emergency Room. For non-emergency, work related injuries, the injured employee should seek first aid and medical treatment at the Dominican Occupational Health Center on 610 Frederick Street. Departmental emergency plans should include contact numbers and operating hours to speed response time in case of an employee injury.
