Heat Stroke Awareness

Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness and is a medical emergency. It occurs when the body’s temperature rises above 103°F (39.4°C) and can no longer cool itself effectively. Without immediate treatment, heat stroke can cause permanent organ damage or become life-threatening.

At Black Physicians of Utah, we encourage everyone to recognize the warning signs and take steps to stay safe during periods of extreme heat.
