“Fresh Start†Classes Scheduled for May

<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Alliance, OH – With summer fast-approaching, now's the time to enjoy the great outdoors without a cigarette in your hand.

Beginning May 3, 2008, Alliance Community Hospital will once again offer “Fresh Start†- a free, four-week smoking cessation program held in Conference Room 2-A, which is located on the hospital's second floor. 

The program is open to the public and will take place on four consecutive Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m.

This session was added due to the overwhelming response to ACH's most recent Smoking Cessation programs.

Everyone who registers for “Fresh Start†will receive a free nicotine patch to aid them in their efforts.  The free classes and patches are made possible through a grant from the American Cancer Society. 

For more information or to register for the Smoking Cessation class, please contact the Cardio-Pulmonary Department of Alliance Community Hospital at (330) 596-7100 or (330) 596-7125. 

Registration is on a first come, first serve basis, so contact ACH today!

As always, for more information on ACH programs and services, please visit our website at www.achosp.org.
