Ladd KeithNew open access paper by Minwoo Ahn, myself, and Heidi Brown documenting rural heat health disparities with evidence from the U.S. National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS). Comparing emergency medical service events, we find that the odds an urban event resulting in a positive outcome was 1.24 times that of patients in rural area, with larger differences evident in the Western U.S. This evidence of a rural-urban heat health disparity calls attention to the impact of climate change-fueled heat impacts on health in communities of all sizes, and a need for more rural heat resilience research to inform practice.<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joclim.2025.100432" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joclim.2025.100432</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/extremeheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extremeheat</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ruralhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruralhealth</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/heatresilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatresilience</a>
