HCA Florida Englewood Hospital is offering a free resource for community members ready to stop smoking. The hospital announced it is hosting Tobacco Free Florida’s “Quit Your Way” program every month. The in-person group sessions are designed to provide a supportive environment and proven methods for quitting all forms of tobacco and nicotine, more than doubling their chances of success.
The program takes place on the third Wednesday of each month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the hospital’s cafeteria. Facilitated by a specialist from Gulfcoast South AHEC, the sessions also provide free Nicotine Replacement Therapy, like gum and patches, to participants 18 and older if medically appropriate. Pre-registration is required, and residents can sign up by calling 888-685-1598 or by visiting the link on the HCA Florida Englewood Hospital Facebook page.
