FIRST AID: At Coquitlam and New Westminster Campuses and Douglas College Anvil Office Tower

An OFA 2 trained officer is on duty at all times during regular campus hours.
A First Aid Room is available and maintained at the Coquitlam and New Westminster Campuses and the Douglas College Anvil Office Tower. First Aid kits, in addition to OFA2 required supplies, include Automated External Defibrillators (AED) and Naloxone Nasal Spray.
