App puts safety in your hands
Thanks to another new UF Health app, assistance is just a screen-touch away to help us feel safe and secure on our campuses.
UF Health Protect is a free personal safety app for faculty, staff and students. Intuitive navigation quickly connects users with digital safety tools.
Get it on your mobile device: Search any app store for “UF Health Protect.”
Here's a preview of what the app offers:

Safety Toolbox
Use the Safety Toolbox to sound an alarm from your mobile device, share your location with a friend or email a question to the UF Health Shands Security team.
