Doty, DeBoer Complete Water Management Training

Laura DeBoer, RN, Director of Nursing, and Kelli Doty, RN, Infection Preventionist, completed a Water Management Training course for the safety of JCH&L Gardenside residents.

Healthcare facilities need to develop an effective water management plan to prepare for, respond to and recover from a total or partial interruption of a facility’s normal water supply. The course provided long-term care facilities with information on what a water management plan is, how to identify the elements of an effective water management program and how to develop and maintain a comprehensive water management program. Residents could become critically ill if steps are not taken to reduce the risk of waterborne illnesses.
