On May 11, 2009, all Chickasaw Nation Health System (CNHS) campuses will become tobacco free in an effort to provide a healthy environment for patients, visitors and employees.

As a health care organization, CNHS is committed not just to healing illness, but promoting wellness.  By eliminating smoking areas, CNHS hopes to remove triggers that make smoking cessation difficult. 

CNHS will offer tobacco cessation classes and a variety of other tools to assist in the transition. For more information about tools available, call (580) 421-4591 or visit http://www.chickasaw.net/ for a full list of resources.
