Some people need extra care in the heat. Older adults, children, pregnant people and people living with chronic medical conditions may have a harder time staying cool.

Take a minute to check on loved ones and neighbors during hot days.

Arizona sunshine heats more than the air.

Wear shoes outdoors and check playground equipment before use. If the pavement feels too hot for your hand, it is too hot for bare feet and pets.

#4thofJuly is one of the busiest days of the year for emergency rooms because of preventable injuries.

Stay hydrated, never leave children or pets in parked cars and leave fireworks to trained professionals. If spending time outside, take breaks in the shade and drink water.

Juvenile arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to attack healthy joints. It can affect children of all ages.
