Great American Smoke out

DODGEVILLE - November 18 marks the Great American Smokeout, a campaign created by the American Cancer Society that encourages tobacco-users to quit for the day and hopefully for good. In the spirit of this effort, Upland Hills Health would like to remind all of our patients and visitors that our campus is entirely tobacco-free. For the health of our communities, our campus, including all outdoor parking areas and entrance areas, went to tobacco-free status in 2008.

To find resources to help tobacco users quit, please visit www.uplandhillshealth.org/resources.
