Medical Emergencies or Urgent Problems
If you have a medical emergency: call 911.
For urgent medical needs during office hours: call Student Health Service. We can address your concern and when needed facilitate transfer to a local hospital or urgent care center. When appropriate, we can also directly order advanced diagnostics such as x-rays, ultrasounds, and EKGs in local off-campus settings.
For After-Hours Urgent Needs, please see Off-Campus Medical Options.
- Emergencies on Campus: Contact your Community Advisor or Lesley Public Safety (617.349.8888).
- Life-threatening Situations: Call 911 for an ambulance, then call Lesley Public Safety so they can assist the ambulance in finding you. Campus Security also has a first-aid kit and defibrillators available, as well as Narcan (for reversing an opioid overdose).
