Hospital Smoking

June 3, 2010

BOONE, Iowa---Boone County Hospital Chief Executive Officer, Joe Smith, hopes smoking issues will finally come to an end at the hospital. Over the years, the Hospital Board has supported limitations on smoking to the point that employees have been walking across to the street to smoke. The newest step is the prohibition of smoking by employees during work hours, regardless of whether the employee leaves hospital property. The Hospital will continue to provide smoking cessation assistance.
