RUTLAND—When the new year approaches many folks hurriedly make those well intentioned resolutions like banning sweets from their diet or exercising more than once a week. Quitting tobacco is also a very popular and common New Year’s resolution, but can be difficult to do.
The Tobacco Cessation Program from Rutland Regional’s Community Health Team is offering a series of on-going groups that can offer support and resources. Drop-in on any these groups and receive free nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum, or lozenges). Groups and nicotine replacement therapy double your chances of staying tobacco-free.
Here is the list of on-going groups that are offered within the community:
Mondays, 4:30-5:30 p.m. in Foley Cancer Conference Room at Rutland Regional Medical Center, 160 Allen Street, Rutland; Tuesdays, 11 a.m.-12 noon at Rutland Heart Center, 12 Commons Street, Rutland; Thursdays, 9-10 a.m. at Rutland Regional Behavioral Health, 1 Commons Street, Rutland; and a pregnant mom’s group Mondays, 5-6 p.m. at Rutland Women’s Healthcare, 147 Allen Street, Rutland.
For more information contact Rutland Regional Medical Center’s Community Health Team at 802-747-3768.
