Emergency Medical Services

Arizona State University Emergency Medical Services provides standby emergency medical coverage to all ASU campuses at an affordable rate. ASU EMS also provides emergency pre-hospital medical care to students, faculty, staff and visitors. The EMS unit falls under ASU Employee Health and is regulated by the Arizona Department of Health Services. Team members participate in regular continuing education for updates on changing medical evidence and protocols. 

ASU departments may request an EMS team to provide on-site emergency medical assistance. Each team is comprised of certified emergency medical technicians who bring a standard set of essential basic life support equipment to requested events. In the case of a medical emergency, providers can initiate life-saving interventions. Having an on-site EMS team improves the response time for medical attention and tactics.

ASU EMS works with local firefighters, paramedics and police officers. The unit uses an advanced networking system that provides in-depth communication between first responders. These communication efforts result in immediate and efficient patient care for all ASU community members.
