Tobacco Programs
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in this country.
As part of our mission and vision to protect the health of our community, buildings, surrounding areas, and parking lots became 100% smoke- and tobacco-free in 2014.
In 2018, Mid Coast Hospital was recognized as Platinum by the Breathe Easy Coalition for excellence in implementing best practice tobacco-free policies and procedures.
We are proud to offer evidence-based tobacco treatment and prevention programs for our patients and community.
Tobacco Treatment Program
Our Tobacco Treatment Program supports people to quit using tobacco through free tobacco cessation counseling.
Our tobacco treatment specialist works with tobacco users to determine where they are on the quitting path and helps to make a personal quit plan for long-term quitting success. Our team is here to support you should you need assistance during this transition.
