Heat Safety and Heat Relief

Extreme heat can affect anyone, but understanding the risks and knowing how to respond can help prevent serious illness and injury. This training provides an overview of heat-related health impacts, including how the body regulates temperature, factors that increase susceptibility to heat illness, and the differences between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Participants will learn how to recognize the warning signs of heat-related emergencies, respond effectively when someone is in distress, and protect themselves during periods of extreme heat. The training also explores unique impacts on Tribal communities, unexpected heat-related injuries such as contact burns, and practical strategies for staying safe indoors and outdoors when temperatures rise. Note: This training is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Last week, our community outreach intern and continuing education coordinator attended the Career & Educational Fair at the Hopi Health Care Center! We enjoyed talking with the students, tribal members, as well as staff at the Health Care Center, about our programming and initiatives!

In addition, we were able to hand out our "Seeds of Wellness: A Hopi Family Workbook and Coloring Book." These booklets were made by our past 24'-26' AIH-AHEC Scholar Cohort!

We would like to thank the Hopi Health Care Center for the opportunity to table at this event!

This past week, AIH-AHEC attended the 52nd Annual Arizona Rural Health Conference in Flagstaff, Arizona! We appreciate the MEZCOPH Center for Rural Health for their continuous dedication and commitment to advancing rural health! This conference provided valuable opportunities to discuss, collaborate, and learn alongside scholars and health professionals!

Our very own Director of AIH-AHEC, Jeffery Axtell, served as one of the panelists on the “Arizona AHEC’s Community Based Experiential Training.” He and other AZ AHEC Directors shared insights about their AHEC programs and discussed best practices and experiences.
