OSF Holy Family Campus Became Smoke Free April 1st, 2007

To safeguard the overall health and well-being of our patients, visitors, volunteers and employees, all OSF Holy Family facilities are now 100 percent smoke-free, beginning April 1st, 2007. Smoking is off-limits in all buildings, parking lots, sidewalks and all other Medical Center grounds.

We believe our smoke-free initiative promotes wellness and disease prevention throughout OSF Holy Family and the communities we serve. OSF Holy Family joins a growing number of healthcare systems across the country - including Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and Cleveland Clinic Health System in Cleveland, Ohio - that are now smoke-free. So after April 1st, if you need to light up, you’ll have to go elsewhere. But we’d really like it if you decided to go smoke free yourself. Your lungs, heart, and friends will be glad you did.

A smoke-free Medical Center. It’s just one more way OSF Holy Family is setting the standard for health and wellness in Monmouth and the surrounding communities.
