A warming planet means more extreme weather of all kinds. And while the hazards of heat exposure are becoming more widely known, the connection between extreme heat and an individual’s mental health often flies under the radar. We talk with two health experts about the physical and mental dangers that also rise when the heat index soars.
Guests:
- Dr. Sunil Joshi, chief health officer with the city of Jacksonville.
- Dr. Christine Caulffield, CEO of LSF Health Systems.
Then, from dengue fever to alcohol on airplanes, we discuss the latest medical headlines — and take your health care questions — during our monthly House Call with Dr. Joe.
Guest:
- Dr. Joe Servin, host of WCJT’s What’s Health Got to Do With It?
Plus, the director and two of the main cast members in Players by the Sea’s upcoming production of Tarzan swing by with a preview of the musical, set to music and lyrics by Phil Collins.
Guests:
- Mike Beaman, director.
