Stephanie Van Alsten, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine, wants to ensure people take the proper precautions amid this ongoing heat wave.

“The most common misconception people have during the summer months is that they are drinking enough water,” Dr. Van Alsten said. “I see many patients that tell me, ‘I drink water all the time, I'm always hydrated,’ and then they tell me, ‘I drink like three glasses of water a day.’ That is not very much water at all.

“If you’re going to be spending time outdoors, it’s very important to stay hydrated.”
