Starting tomorrow (July 1),
Cobre Valley Community Hospital will be tobacco free. No tobacco use of any kind will be permitted on hospital property—inside or outside. This includes the elimination of designated areas outside where employees, patients and visitors are currently allowed to use tobacco products.
Cobre Valley Hospital Community Relations Coordinator Jane Allen says tobacco use in and around hospitals poses health and safety risks. She says this is not an attempt to force anyone to quit smoking. It’s an attempt by the hospital to show its commitment to healthy living.
