DDS Wellness and Safety Bulletin – Pneumonia

February 2, 2023

The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is excited to share the latest Wellness and Safety Bulletin posted on the DDS Wellness Toolkit. This bulletin addresses the topic of identifying and preventing pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs more frequently impacting the population this time of year. Some people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are at an increased risk of getting pneumonia which can become life-threatening if untreated. Recognizing the signs and symptoms can help prevent health complications, hospitalization, and death. This bulletin provides relevant health and safety information as part of DDS’ ongoing effort to improve our collective management of risks to the wellness of the individuals that we serve.
