Three facilities in North Carolina go tobacco-free
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, July 10, 2007
To promote health and wellness in the community, three of North Carolina's healthcare systems celebrated tobacco-free campuses on Independence Day. The three healthcare systems are Chapel Hill's University of North Carolina Healthcare, Raleigh-based WakeMed Health and Hospitals, and Durham's Duke University Health System, an ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® recipient in 2006. Following the trend in North Carolina and other facilities across the nation, the three facilities banned the use of tobacco products inside the facilities many years ago, but the new policy now bans the use of tobacco products anywhere on the facilities campuses. Employees, physicians, patients, and visitors will not be allowed to use tobacco products on the campuses, which employ almost 40,000 healthcare workers and serve nearly three million patients from all 100 counties in North Carolina.
