(CT) Legionella Webinar 1 for Healthcare Facilities

The CT Legionella Response Team recorded a webinar in June 2018 for healthcare facilities and local health departments.  It was meant to provide basic information about Legionella epidemiology (nationally and in CT), environmental considerations and water management programs, and the role of the CT state drinking water section with regard to supplemental disinfection.  Most of the audience was still in the beginning stages of their understanding. Workgroup members Paul Gacek and Marian Heyman gave the first 2 presentations, respectively.
