Is This on Your List of New Year's Resolutions?

Need help quitting the cigarette habit?

It’s the number one New Year's resolution, I suspect, behind losing weight: quitting smoking.

Now here’s help to do just that.

The Westerly Hospital is offering a seven-week smoking cessation program called “Freedom from Smoking” beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014 from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Hospital’s Nardone Conference Center at 25 Wells Street in Westerly.  Sessions will be held for seven consecutive Tuesdays and an additional session will be held on Thursday, Jan. 30.

The program will be facilitated by Westerly Hospital respiratory therapists trained in the American Lung Association program.   Participants will learn tools and strategies to recover from tobacco addiction and help them stay quit for good.  The cost is $25 per participant to cover the cost of materials.

For questions, call Community Relations at 401-348-2300 or email CommunityRelations@westerlyhospital.org.
