More than 1,300 Americans die every year due to extreme heat, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Why is extreme heat dangerous? “In Central Texas, the heat loves to get to everybody,” said Ally Furrey, head Athletic Trainer for Ascension Seton, who helps support community organizations by evaluating their athletic training needs. “We're looking at heat illness, and we're looking at heatstroke.
