Hello QNNC! Partners,


Registration is still up for our Executive Seminar on Worksite Wellness and our early bird reduced rate is available through this Friday.  We hope you will join us  on March 24 and 25 in Wilmington as we gather business, hospital and community health leaders to discuss worksite wellness and tobacco cessation.  Our featured speaker is Michael Burke from the Mayo Clinic's Nicotine Dependence Center and he will talk about tobacco cessation at an individual level and at system level.  Please visit our website to learn more and register.
