LEGIONNAIRES’ OUTBREAK: WHAT IF?

Illinois Long-Term Care Facilities

Illinois is experiencing a major increase in Legionnaires' Disease — and it’s only the beginning. Greater scrutiny of healthcare-associated Legionnaires' disease is on the horizon.


An outbreak can damage your brand and reputation. A single Legionella outbreak, which is commonly publicly disclosed, can harm your company.


An outbreak can end up costing you over a million dollars in lost revenue, emergency response and litigation.


Safety is at the forefront of long-term care in compliance with ASHRAE 188.
