Rapid Response:¶

- For Emergencies within the hospitals call Penn Rapid Response: (215)-662-3333. If you are at HUP6 and a patient seizes at the scanner, instruct rapid response to go to "basement of Founders/Rhodes elevator, MRI". This is not a very familiar area so they will not know where to go if you just say HUP6.
