As temperatures rise in the coming weeks and months, please remember that parked cars get hot really fast and so can children. Remember to stop and look in the back seat before you lock your car.

Hot surfaces, such as car seats, hoods and dashboards, can reach temperatures of more than 200 degrees. Be sure you check the temperature on playground equipment and other exposed areas, such as asphalt, before your children are exposed.

Mississippi Baptist Medical Center is a designated Level III trauma and burn center. This means patients of all ages in central Mississippi, as well as across the state and beyond, can be treated at Baptist for a wide range of trauma and burns.
