Help Your Patients & Clients with their New Year's Resolutions!

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), counseling tobacco users to quit is ranked as one of the most cost effective and clinically proven interventions to prevent disease and injury, second only to vaccinating children. Please support your patients, clients, loved ones and friends as they join the 82.9% of Florida adults who DO NOT SMOKE.

  

Help can be found by using GSAHEC's I Quit with AHEC program.

FACILITATOR SPOTLIGHT

   

This month, GSAHEC would like to welcome and honor our newest facilitator "English Jan"! After completing her requirements this August, Jan has set the tobacco cessation trails on fire! This wonderfully kind and intelligent woman has brought her compassion for health and wellness as a Registered Nurse to our team and is receiving rave reviews from our participants.  

 

Here are just a few comments from her most recent Tools To Quit class at the Elsie Quirk Library in Englewood:

  • "Jan gave a wonderful and informative class."  -  Charlotte
  • "Educated, motivated, sweet teacher."  -  Christel  
  • "Made me think about reasons I should stop (smoking)."  -  Sandi

 Thank you, Jan, for your continued partnership and being an invaluable resource to our community!  

 

Trained Tobacco Cessation Facilitators promote and provide cessation classes throughout Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties. We are looking for individuals who have experience working with small groups and will be able to recruit participants. Please contact us for further details!
