Savvy Senior: How extreme heats affects seniors: tips to stay safe

Dear Savvy Senior,

I work for a county health department and every summer we’re seeing more and more seniors get sick and even die from heat-related illness. Can you write an awareness piece on the affects extreme heat has on older adults, and what they can do to guard against this summertime risk. Thanks for helping keep seniors safe!
