A state investigation has found that a patient contracted Legionnaires' disease last fall while being cared for at McLaren Flint Hospital, according to an article on the Crain's Detroit Business website.
Tests conducted on McLaren Flint's water management system found the hospital had a comprehensive infection control plan, but that some parts were not being followed, including disinfectant levels not being checked at point of use.
McLaren Flint was told to improve its water management plans to avoid an outbreak of Legionnaires', which has claimed at least 12 lives since 2014 in Genesee County.
The Legionnaires' outbreak has been tied to the lead poisoning of water supplies at the Flint water plant.
