With extreme heat affecting the region FirstCall Medical Center and Centennial Medical Group encourage everyone to take extra precautions to protect themselves and their families.

High temperatures can quickly lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other heat-related illnesses. Drink water regularly, limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, and check on older adults, children, neighbors, and pets.

Be alert for symptoms such as heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, rapid pulse, fainting, or confusion. Move to a cooler area and seek medical attention when symptoms do not improve. Severe symptoms, loss of consciousness, or difficulty breathing require an immediate call to 911.

FirstCall Medical Center is available for prompt evaluation and treatment of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other non-life-threatening medical concerns.
