Legionella Bacteria Detected At Two Department Of Corrections Facilities
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Department of Corrections (IDOC) today announced legionella bacteria was detected during routine water testing at the Stateville and Joliet Treatment Center facilities this week. IDOC conducts quarterly legionella testing at all locations to detect the bacteria early and prevent further spread. Currently, no inmates or staff at either facility are exhibiting symptoms of the disease and all potentially affected individuals in custody have been notified. “Protecting the health and safety of the individuals entrusted to our care is the department’s top priority, which is why we routinely test for bacteria like legionella,” said IDOC Director Rob Jeffreys. “In partnership with IDPH, the department will continue to closely monitor inmates and will conduct rigorous water cleansing and follow up testing to ensure the bacteria is eradicated.” “Thanks to regularly scheduled testing, the
Step Up To The Mic! - Alton City Shapers Wants To Hear Your Voice
ALTON - We often get excited about new efforts in our city, but we also know they are difficult to sustain. City Shapers is a two-year training process that is careful to listen to every voice in our city. Over the two years, we will focus on three phases: assessment, alignment, and activation. We are currently in the ASSESSMENT phase. This is requiring us to move much slower than many of us usually do. Instead of assuming we know what everyone wants or needs in Alton, we're taking our time to humbly listen to as many voices as we can. It takes time to build trust and develop friendships with people we don't always know. We believe it's worth it. So, step up to the mic! We want to hear your voice. The Alton City Shapers movement is inviting Altonians to share their voices through local gatherings called, "Listening Sessions." During the month of March, we have identified locations across Alton in an effort to bring us all together. We want to hear your thoughts about Alton. No
