The University of Sumatera Utara (USU) campus in Medan is a green space area with numerous social and environmental benefits. In the USU campus, trees were planted for providing inhabitant needs such as fresh air, pollutant absorber, medicine, wood, fuel, fiber, aesthetic, and food. One of the medicine, wood, and aesthetic species that grows on the USU campus is kerai payung ( Filicium decipiens ). Along with fallen trees and broken branches incidents, detection of kerai payung trees damage in the campus USU was needed to prevent undesirable incidents and provide recommendations for maintenance. This research aims to get information on the distribution and damage profile of Kerai payung. To determine and assess the damage profile, the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) approach was used. Research showed that the Kere payung diameter structure ranges from 8 cm to 74 cm. Based on FHM, damage types of Kerai payung trees in USU campus are as follows; broken or dead branch, open wound, brum in branch, loss of dominant tips, leaves change color and konk. While the damage location is found in branches, buds and tips, lower and upper bole, leaves and upper bole. Our research pointed out that maintaining activities still be needed to avoid further damages.
