Mahaska Health Partnership to hold Freedom from Smoking Clinic
Mahaska Health Partnership
MAHASKA COUNTY – Mahaska Health Partnership Cardiopulmonary Services will be offering a seven-week Freedom from Smoking Clinic beginning Tuesday, Sept. 9.
Freedom from Smoking is an educational series offered by the American Lung Association that emphasizes long-term freedom from smoking. According to Certified Facilitator Mary Burbank, RRT, RCP, each smoker who joins will develop an individual plan for quitting, and learn the latest updates on stress management and pharmaceutical interventions.
“I encourage anyone even thinking about quitting to attend this session,” Burbank stressed. “This program is focused on providing the tools necessary for not only breaking the smoking habit, but finding alternative ways to cope with stress.”
Burbank said that even if people have been unsuccessful with past attempts to quit, they should try this program. Nicotine is a very addictive substance that is easy to obtain. The Freedom from Smoking Clinic can help smokers break their habit with proven steps to make quitting more successful.
The Freedom from Smoking Clinic will be offered for seven weeks with class meeting every Tuesday, beginning Sept. 9 through Oct. 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on the MHP campus in Oskaloosa.
