Chevy Chase Pavilion

With the number of people that work and visit the building, the occurrence of an occasional medical emergency should be expected.  However, unless you and the people within your organization know how to respond promptly, the occurrence may become more serious than it otherwise would be.

If you observe someone hurt of stricken by a medical condition (seizure, heart attack, etc.), the following steps should be taken:

1. Immediately summon aid and/or have an employee or co-worker go for assistance.
2. Call 911 for an ambulance immediately; our local rescue service is just minutes away.
3. Try to ascertain as much information concerning the illness or injury as possible.
4. Try to keep the injured person as comfortable as possible (e.g., loosen belts, ties, etc.)
5. DO NOT MOVE THE INJURED PERSON.
6. Call Security at 202.237.7900 to report the emergency.

AED defibrillators are kept at the Security Desk and Office Lobby Desk and members of staff are trained on the use of the equipment.
