Information
about this innovative tobacco-cessation program
As
part of our admission process at Columbia Memorial Hospital, all
tobacco using patients who need support to quit will be identified.
Then, our innovative cessation program will be implemented by
a trained tobacco cessation professional who will provide counseling
and follow-up after discharge.
The
second part of the program is a community-wide education program
conducted by a certified health educator. The educator will provide
forums on smoking cessation, conduct first-line counseling and
refer individuals to the specialists for continued second-line
intensive therapy. The educators will also work with staff of
agencies and companies to implement a systems approach for tracing
tobacco dependence in organizations.
This
innovative "Quit Program," now available at Columbia Memorial
Hospital, provides trained tobacco cessation specialists who have
mental health counseling backgrounds to help you or a loved one
stop smoking and live a healthier life.
