What should I do if I have a medical emergency?

In the event of a medical emergency, the priority is to seek immediate assistance. AdventHealth advises individuals to recognize the signs of a medical emergency, which may include severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrollable bleeding, loss of consciousness, or any other life-threatening condition. If you or someone around you experiences these symptoms, it is essential to call emergency services immediately. While waiting for help to arrive, it is advisable to remain as calm as possible and ensure the affected individual is in a safe position. If safe, try to provide any relevant medical information to emergency responders upon their arrival, such as allergies, existing medical conditions, and medications being taken. Additionally, should the situation allow, knowing the nearest AdventHealth facility can expedite receiving further care once emergency services have stabilized the individual.
