What is MERT?
Founded in 1972, River Campus Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) uses student
volunteers to provide emergency medical service to the University community. MERT provides full
service from 8pm to 8am seven days a week during normal University scheduled times. This service
ranges from basic first aid to medical emergencies that need attention prior to an ambulance arriving.
MERT also provides free blood pressure screenings, CPR and First Aid training and medical coverage for
University events. MERT’s services are completely free of charge and confidential.
