The Saint Barnabas Health Care System is embarking on an important initiative to ensure a healthy and smoke-free environment for patients and their families, employees and physicians. As many restaurants, businesses and educational institutions have adopted smoke-free initiatives through the Clean Indoor Air Act, hospitals and health care systems across the nation are doing so as well. SBHCS is committed to the creation and maintenance of a healthy workplace for all. Becoming a tobacco-free workplace is a critical part of that commitment.
As a result, Community Medical Center, Kimball Medical Center, Monmouth Medical Center, Kensington Manor, Saint Barnabas Behavioral Health Center, System Business Office in Oceanport and all SBHCS facilities in Southern New Jersey will begin a year-long transition to conclude on November 20, the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout, when all of our Southern campuses will officially be smoke-free. The Northern campuses will soon follow in 2009 as the second phase of the initiative.
