First Aid and Emerencies
Bradford Woods does not provide health services to rental groups – each is responsible for providing its own first aid/nursing/emergency care services. In the event of an emergency, you should call 911. Bradford Woods has trained staff members that may also be able to assist. Notify your event coordinator if you have an emergency so they can assist.
- CPR/First Aid Provider. Each retreat group should have one person present who is CPR and First Aid certified from a nationally-recognized provider including training in blood borne pathogens. For your safety and convenience, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are located at Baxter Dining Hall, the Equine Center, Carr Center, Cross Keys Inn, Griffith Hall, the Manor House, the Waterfront Beach House and the American Camp Association.
- Medical Information. Bradford Woods recommends that your group maintain a roster of participants, their addresses, emergency contact names and numbers, a list of known allergies or health conditions, restrictions or other accommodations and permission to treat forms.
- Medical Treatment. Rental groups are responsible for providing their own first aid kits and emergency care and transportation.
- Medicine dispensing and storage. Medications must be carried and dispensed by an appropriate agency representative only. Rental groups must store and secure all medications appropriately, ensuring medications are accessible only to the appropriate representative for dispensation. Groups may provide a lockbox for medication, or you may talk to your Bradford Woods coordinator about a secure space for medication storage during your stay.
- Emergency assistance. In the event of an emergency, EMS services are available by dialing 911. If dialing from a property phone, dial 9 + 911.
- Transport to Urgent Care or Hospital. It is the responsibility of rental groups to transport participants to urgent care or the hospital. Groups must ensure that at least one vehicle remain on-site that may be used for group transportation if necessary.
- Weather Emergencies. A siren will sound on Bradford Woods property in the event of a tornado and some severe weather situations. Shelter locations for severe weather are included in the welcome binder in each building on property. If possible, please make your way to the preferred location. If weather will not permit or you determine it is unsafe to move that distance, please make your way to the alternate location. In cases of severe lightning or thunderstorms, please move to the nearest shelter or building and out of harm’s way.
