Emergency and After Hours Care
The Emory University Student Health Services (EUSHS) is not an emergency facility. For life threatening emergencies, please call 911. Call the Emory police at (404) 726-6111 or 7-6111 (on campus direct dial) to obtain emergency assistance. For help in determining medical treatment options when EUSHS is closed, call the EUSHS on-call physician at (404) 727-7551 (press 0). A decision to seek medical assistance at the Emory University Hospital Emergency Department, (404) 712-7100, should be made carefully, as it will involve significant financial expense.
Hospitalizations are usually arranged at Emory University Hospital or other facilities within the Emory University System of Healthcare. Your EUSHS physician maintains liaison with the hospital?s attending physicians. The cost of hospitalization is the responsibility of the patient. For limited, less serious problems, students may be treated in the holding/observation area of the EUSHS during office hours. There are no overnight (infirmary-type) wards or beds at the EUSHS.
