Emergency Care

In case of acute illness or an emergency accident

For medical emergencies (e.g., loss of consciousness, chest pain, severe abdominal pain, seizure, head injury, serious fall or fractures, excessive bleeding, difficulty breathing, etc.) the victim or a bystander should first contact Campus Safety (901-843-3333) or call 911 emergency response system.

The Student Health Center’s staff will assist with medical emergencies during office hours (Monday – Friday from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm). After hours, contact Campus Safety (901-843-3333).

For medical assistance, call the Student Health Center during office hours. After hours, follow this procedure if it is a non-emergency: 

You may access 24/7 telehealth at no cost to you. Virtual Healthcare, provided by licensed clinicians, is accessible to enrolled students at all times. While not all conditions are appropriate to treat via telehealth, many acute symptoms can be addressed. Examples include: allergies, colds/flu/coughs, GI issues, fevers/headaches, UTIs, acne/rashes, earaches, respiratory issues, and more.
