From this excellent NEJM review by Bell et al on the effects of heat on health: https://lnkd.in/em_AHnUq "Being a member of a marginalized racial or ethnic group or having low socioeconomic status is a key factor affecting risk, but several other factors also increase the risk of adverse health effects, including social isolation, extremes of age, coexisting conditions, and medications." Addressing drivers of health, like utilities access, is critical to improve #HealthEquity and the overall health of our nation. The Physicians Foundation Let’s Take 5 campaign supports physicians to meet their patients’ needs. #SDOH
