Doctors Hospital of Augusta

A child can suffer heatstroke in just minutes inside a parked vehicle — even on a day that doesn’t feel dangerously hot.

Thank you to Dr. Vijay Nagpal, Emergency Medicine Medical Director at Doctors Hospital of Augusta, for sharing this important reminder as part of the “Look Before You Lock” initiative. Dr. Nagpal explains how quickly temperatures can rise inside a vehicle and why a simple habit could save a child’s life.
