No Butts About It: Our Kids Matter Most

May/June e-Newsletter > No Butts About It

On June 1st, we successfully went smoke free! New signage has been posted around the hospital and so far, the new policy has been received positively. “We are committed to the health and safety of patients, their families and our staff.

After thoughtful consideration, we’ve determined that continued use of tobacco products on and around our facility goes against our mission.” said Franciscan Hospital for Children’s Vice President for Performance Improvement, Jennifer Fexis. “While we respect the rights of the individual, we must do what we know is best for the children and families we serve.”

Use of tobacco products is prohibited on all Franciscan Hospital for Children property including in vehicles parked on FHC property. The tobacco-free policy applies to all people on Franciscan campus. A map defining the property is displayed: click to download. Thank you for your continued cooperation!
