The Heat: Effects and Risks of Climate on Health Outcomes
Oct. 21, 2021, Noon to 1 p.m. MST (Arizona time)
Heat is a health issue. In Arizona, high heat affects people’s health in everyday life. The impacts are exacerbated by factors such as hydration and activity levels and worsened for marginalized populations with insufficient cooling options. Recent Phoenix-based research has explored the effects of heat and possible interventions, while a heat surveillance program has identified which populations are especially vulnerable along with necessary solutions.
Join us for an important discussion on how rising heat affects our health, how to stay safe while being active, and how we can improve outcomes for some of our most vulnerable.
