If there’s one word to describe August in South Louisiana, it is “hot.” If there are two words, they are “really hot.”

And even though this August has felt a least a liiiiitle less oppressive than usual, it is important to take precautions if you know you’re going to be spending any amount of time outdoors.

To help, we welcome longtime local physician Dr. Merrill Laurent to “Northshore Healthbeat” – the official podcast of St. Tammany Health System – to offer advice on ways to beat the heat, as well as to answer other frequently asked patient questions.

Listen in now at all major podcast platforms, including:

Episodes can also be found in the electronic newsroom at StTammany.health, alongside the health system’s myriad other publications and programs.

“Northshore Healthbeat” is a public affairs podcast dedicated to local healthcare issues and happenings, featuring interviews with local care providers, patients and community stakeholders.
