We Appreciate Your Cooperation
Franklin General Hospital is committed to providing a safe, healthy, and healing environment for our patients, visitors, employees, and community members. To support the health and well-being of everyone on our campus, all hospital facilities and grounds are designated as tobacco-free. The use of cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, vaping products, smokeless tobacco, and other tobacco-related products is prohibited on hospital property. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a healthier environment for all.
If you are interested in obtaining support to stop using tobacco, call Quitline Iowa (a toll-free smoking cessation counseling hotline) at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) or visit their website at www.quitlineiowa.org.
Patients who smoke or use tobacco products are encouraged to talk with their physician about nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). NRT may help curb cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
