IJR News — today's news from every sideHeat Drives Busier Chicago ER Visits, Study FindsHealth — Aug 26, 2026A Northwestern University study analyzing 916,404 Chicago ER and urgent-care visits from 2011 to 2023 found that on hot days (92.6°F/33.7°C or higher) there are increases across more than a dozen health categories, including accidental gunshot wounds, kidney problems, skin issues, varicose veins, and marijuana-related mental-health effects, with some injuries rising more than 30-fold.
