SBH is leading the way to a smoke-free future
At the forefront of smoking cessation, SBH achieved a milestone in May 2008 by becoming the first smoke-free hospital campus in the Bronx. The following year, we were honored with a plaque from the New York City Council for our proactive leadership in fostering a smoke-free community.
Each year, SBH participates in the Great American Smokeout and, most recently, our smoking cessation team took part in Kick Butts Day, encouraging teens to STAND OUT, SPEAK UP, and SEIZE CONTROL AGAINST TOBACCO.
Community Collaboration
SBH actively collaborates with community programs to promote smoking cessation through outreach, patient resources, and partnerships with organizations like the American Cancer Society and Bronx BREATHES.
SBH Managed Programs
SBH dirige un programa para dejar de fumar que utiliza una combinación de medicamentos y medidas de apoyo para ayudar a las personas a dejar de fumar. Esto incluye tratamientos basados en la ciencia para minimizar los síntomas de abstinencia de nicotina de los pacientes y maximizar su éxito en el logro de una reducción de fumar o el abandono total.
