Our very own, Dr. Jacob Sinkoff recently stopped by the morning show to share important reminders about staying hydrated, recognizing the signs of dehydration, and protecting yourself and your family during the summer heat.
From graduations and outdoor events to workouts and long days outside, it’s easy to fall behind on fluids before you even realize it.

At IEP, we’re committed to helping our communities stay informed, prepared, and healthy all season long.
