If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical situation, including mental health emergencies, call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.

Medical emergencies are the sudden and unexpected onset of a medical condition that:

  • Is threatening to life, limbs, or eyesight or safety;
  • Requires immediate medical treatment; or
  • Manifests painful symptoms that require an immediate response to alleviate suffering.
