Medical Emergency: How to Respond

When to Call 911

Contact 911 if you believe a person may need emergency assistance, if you suspect a head or neck injury, if a person loses consciousness and if you witness someone having a seizure. LCC needs to ensure community members receive the best care possible.

Transportation of Injured or Ill Persons

Due to possible liability issues and medical complications during transportation, LCC discourages employees from transporting other employees, students, or campus visitors who may be injured or ill.

In the event that a campus community member needs transport and cannot arrange for it themselves, 911 should be contacted. Professional transport ensures that medical attention can be provided en route.

LCC also recognizes that some disaster situations may require alternate transportation when campus cannot be served by licensed ambulance services.

First Aid Kits

First aid kits can be found in strategic locations across the campus for the purposes of providing basic first aid treatment. First aid kits contain basic first aid supplies such as gloves, assorted bandages, tape, alcohol, burn gel and antiseptic wipes. First Aid kits are re-stocked by Zee Medical Service on a regular basis.

  First Aid Kit locations are listed on the campus map. Click any building to see locations.

  Learn what you can do to keep that person safe until the seizure stops by itself. Provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
