Smoke-Free Environment

Washington Hospital Center has a completely tobacco-free environment. This means that all tobacco products will be banned from the Hospital Center campus and off-site locations, including its parking lots, garages and courtyards. This policy applies to everyone: visitors, employees, physicians, patients, volunteers and students. Click here to learn more about the Hospital Center's "completely tobacco-free" policy, and associated 'Patient Resources' with helpful links.

If you anticipate having difficulty complying with these requirements, ask your doctor or nurse about smoking cessation techniques or products. Smoking Cessation: Smoking cigarettes tops the list of major risk factors of our number one killer - heart and blood vessel disease - as well as a long list of other diseases. Smoking also harms thousands of non-smokers who are exposed to cigarette smoke. If you are a smoker and would like to quit, ask your nurse for educational materials related to smoking cessation.
