TEMS utilizes the chat client Meebo to provide you with this service. The TEMS Supervisor can answer any questions you may have regarding policies, procedures, or services of Tulane EMS. Additionally, they can help you locate vital resources and information for your health and wellbeing while at Tulane or Loyola University. If they don't know the answer, they will point you in the right direction. The service is not intented to diagnoise, treat, or cure any illness, sickness, or disease that you may have.
