Smoking cessation is a main focus in our hospital. We offer information to all our patients who have a history of smoking in the past 12 months.

Watch the local paper for information about the smoking cessation course that is offered to the public annually. It is sponsored by GVMC and the material is provided by the American Lung Association. It is a 7 class course that is scheduled over a 5 week period. The course fee is $25.00 to cover the material each person is given. The Therapist, food and meeting room are all complementary.
