No matter your politics, religious beliefs, income level, Facebook status, everyone can agree that It's hot as heck right now! All across the United States (and around the World), the heat is almost unbearable as a heat wave has lead to record high temperatures and we are undoubtedly paying a price (other than high energy costs). There are literally people losing their lives to heat-related illness and the Health In Harlem team is here to say it does not have to be that way. We give you the critical information regarding heat-related illness and the tips and strategies to stay cool and above all else, stay healthy. Please hit us up with any questions or concerns on our message board and as always, enjoy the show!
