Extreme heat in Los Angeles isn’t just about sunburn or dehydration—it’s quietly making everyday health problems much worse, especially for our most vulnerable neighbors. ER doctors are seeing more patients whose heart, kidney, or breathing issues spiral out of control during heat waves, and sometimes the connection to heat isn’t obvious. The hardest hit? Older adults, people with chronic illnesses, and those without access to air conditioning or shade, particularly in areas like Skid Row. This is more than a weather issue—it’s about health equity and community support. How can we better protect each other as our city gets hotter every year? #Health #BodyHealth #LosAngeles
