⚠️ When to Call 911 — Do Not Drive to Urgent Care

Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency. Call 911 immediately if the patient is:
unconscious or unresponsive, experiencing
confusion, slurred speech, or seizures, has a
body temperature above 104°F (40°C), or has
stopped sweating with hot, dry skin.

PACS Urgent Care treats heat exhaustion and mild-to-moderate heat stroke. Severe cases require emergency services.

  • On-site evaluation and treatment for heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat stroke symptoms in patients of all ages.
  • IV fluid therapy and active cooling measures available to rehydrate and stabilize patients rapidly.
  • Our board-certified physicians assess severity and coordinate emergency transfer when a higher level of care is required.

Learn why it is worth it

Recognize the Signs — Act Fast with PACS Urgent Care

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Recognizing warning signs early — confusion, high body temperature, absence of sweating, rapid heartbeat — and getting prompt treatment can prevent permanent organ damage.

Our experienced providers rapidly assess body temperature, hydration, and neurological status. We initiate immediate cooling and rehydration, monitor vitals closely, and determine whether stabilization at PACS is sufficient or emergency transfer is required.

Bring the patient in immediately or call ahead if possible. Our team rapidly checks vital signs and core body temperature, initiates cooling measures and IV rehydration, and monitors the patient closely. Severe cases are stabilized and transferred to an emergency facility without delay.
