Student Health Service

FOR EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION CALL 911 .

The city of Bowling Green provides ambulance service. Students are responsible for paying any ambulance fees. Emergency medical transportation must be provided by ambulance. Medical emergencies are conditions that require immediate medical care to save life or preserve function.

If a student needs medical care when the SHS is not open Visit the Self-Care Guide for information on common medical conditions. The Self-Care Guide is a medical self-help program where students will be guided through by answering questions that will lead to the recommended course of action. If it is an emergency, go to the Wood County Hospital (WHC) Emergency Room (419-354-8900) located at 950 West Wooster Street. A student who needs transportation for non-emergency situations, should call the BGSU Campus Safety Office at 419-372-2346 or BGSU's campus shuttle service at 419-372-RIDE (7433).
