In a recent interview with KNOP News, Dr. Smith, emergency room physician at Great Plains Health, warned that hot car deaths don't require extreme temperatures, two-thirds occur when it's 90 degrees or less.

Since 1998, more than 1,000 children have died after being left in vehicles. Smith says just over 50% of cases involve parents who simply forgot their child was in the car.

More than half of victims are under age 2, and 80% of dangerous heat buildup occurs in the first 30 minutes. About 2 children die weekly during summer months.

Dr. Smith recommends moving a stuffed animal from the car seat to your front seat when placing your child, putting your phone or purse in the back seat as a reminder, and always checking the back seat before leaving your vehicle.

Nebraska law prohibits leaving children unattended in vehicles. If you see a child alone in a car, you can legally break the window to rescue them.

This can happen to anyone. Remember to look before you lock.

Great Plains Health in North Platte is reminding everyone to always check the back seat before leaving their vehicle.

As our new Great Plains Health Sports & Therapy Center nears completion at the corner of Jeffers and Leota, we are pleased to spotlight one of our outstanding physical therapists: Breezie Trytek, PT, DPT.

Breezie joined the Great Plains Health Sports & Therapy team six years ago after beginning her career in Kansas City. She holds certifications in functional dry needling and fascial movement taping. She primarily focuses on orthopedics and sports therapy while also treating geriatric and pediatric patients.

As the opening of our new facility approaches, Breezie, along with the rest of the talented team at Great Plains Health Sports & Therapy, is eagerly preparing for the transition!

Breezie’s passion for physical therapy began at a young age, after her grandmother suffered a massive stroke. Watching her grandmother relearn how to walk, talk and eat sparked a lifelong interest in the healing power of therapy. Years later, after injuring her back during her junior year of high school, Breezie worked closely with her school’s ATC and PT, an experience that reaffirmed her calling.

“Thanks to physical therapy, I was able to return to playing sports and lifting weights. I’ve always been interested in science and the movement of the human body. Playing sports my entire life, I knew physical therapy would be a perfect fit,” Breezie says.

Outside of work, Breezie enjoys life with her husband, Trey, their five-month-old daughter, Breece, and their two dogs. As a family, they love spending time outdoors, walking, biking, cooking, baking, working out and playing sports.

Just as her grandmother’s physical therapist was a beacon of hope, Breezie now offers that same support and encouragement to her own patients. Her compassion, expertise, and caring spirit make her a beloved and respected member of the Great Plains Health team.

Thank you, Breezie, for your dedication to putting the patient first — always!
