Emergencies
If you are a resident hall student, first check with your Resident Assistant (RA). If you need immediate attention, your RA will call the Campus Police. The Campus Police will call an ambulance to evaluate and/or transport you to St. Luke's Hospital, located in New Bedford, MA.
Don't call an ambulance yourself. The police need to meet the ambulance at the entrance to direct the driver to the right location. To reach our campus police from your cell phone, call (508) 999-9191 or from an on-campus phone, call 9191.
If you live off campus, St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford and Charlton Hospital in Fall River are two local resources.

If your problem does not require immediate attention, please come to Health Services the next day.
