Guide
Newton Memorial Hospital
is a Smoke-free campus
The Hospital
became designated as fully 'non-smoking' on January 1, 2004. The
mandate includes all inside areas including restrooms, and the outside
areas surrounding the Hospital. This means that smoking in selected
areas near entrances and exits is no longer permitted. Of course,
we need your cooperation to create healthy air in and around Newton
Memorial Hospital.
Newton Memorial Hospital's Quitcenter is for those wishing to eliminate
tobacco dependence from their lives. The services are provided by
experienced health professionals who have completed specialist training
in both tobacco dependence counseling and pharmacological treatment
of tobacco dependence, provided by the Tobacco Dependence Program
at UMDNJ School of Public Health. Group counseling is conducted
at the Center for Prevention and Counseling, 93 Main Street, Newton,
New Jersey.
Newton Memorial Hospital's commitment to the communities it serves
is to provide programs that foster wellness and intervention. The
health problems associated with smoking have been well documented.
Smoking has been proven to be one of the primary causes in cardiac,
circulatory and lung diseases and many types of cancer. Secondary
smoke can also cause serious health problems and is especially hazardous
to children. It is because of the harmful effects associated with
smoking that Newton Memorial Hospital is making every effort to
help you to eliminate smoking from your life.
