Fresh Air. Fresh Breath. Fresh Start.

Saint Joseph Health System’s mission calls us to create healthier communities. In order to be faithful to our mission as a health care provider, we will become tobacco free for all patients, employees and visitors on Thursday, November 20, 2008, the day recognized annually as The Great American Smoke-out. The new policy means that patients, visitors and employees are prohibited from using any tobacco products anywhere on hospital grounds and will apply to all properties that are considered part of SJHS, including our clinics. This new initiative is a further step in making our organization healthier for our patients, employees and communities — a priority for us. It also supports the high standard of care we provide and that our community has come to expect.

10 DAYS UNTIL WE’RE TOBACCO-FREE!
