The American Cancer Society is marking the 35th Great American Smokeout on November 18 by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By doing so, smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life – one that can lead to reducing cancer risk. Quitting smoking is not easy, but it can be done. Next week Mountain Health and Wellness will be supporting the Great American Smokeout by encouraging our staff and clients to use this important day to consider quitting. We will also use this event to begin making our staff and clients aware of the tremendous resources and support offered through the Arizona Smokers Helpline to assist with the difficult challenge of quitting.
We'll have a presentation next week by Shannon Vaffis, Assistant Director of the ASH Line at our Recovery Center in AJ scheduled for Wednesday, 11/17 at 11am. Shannon will be reviewing what is being offered for both our clients and staff that want to quit. There are quite a bit of resources available and we want you to know what they are. We will also be having presentations in early December by Shannon at our Yuma and Oracle facilities. Please check out the ASH line at the following link.
