Medical Emergency

Time Matters in a Medical Emergency

If you believe someone is having a stroke, heart attack, or other serious medical issue, call 911 immediately. Stay on the line with dispatchers until they tell you it’s OK to hang up. Then call campus public safety at 253-566-5111.

Automatic Emergency Defibrillators

Automatic Emergency Defibrillators are located in every TCC building for use in the event of a heart attack.

Giving Medical Assistance

If a medical emergency occurs, give only the level of care you are trained to give. If you cannot give medical assistance, you can still:

• Contact emergency personnel
• Stay with the victim and reassure them
