Smoke- and Tobacco-Free
We're Clearing the Air!

As part of our commitment to provide a healthy environment for you and your family, Baptist Health is a 100% smoke- and tobacco-free organization.

As a leading health care provider, we see the negative effects of smoking every day in the ever-increasing number of people with cancer, heart disease, stroke and chronic health conditions.

And it's not just smokers who are affected by smoke. It affects people of all ages, from small children to those who are elderly. Secondhand smoke can contribute to pneumonia, bronchitis, severe asthma attacks, heart attacks and even lung cancer.

So, by eliminating smoking on all of our properties, we are promoting good health and clear air throughout our community. We hope we can count on your support for better health for everyone.

We recognize that following our smoke-free policy may be difficult for some people. That's why we offer smoking cessation resources for those who are interested.
