Smoking
It is the policy of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic (DHC), Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital (MHMH) and Northern New England Community Practices to maintain a 100% smoke-free environment for the preservation and protection of health of our Dartmouth-Hitchcock (D-H) physicians, staff, patients, volunteers, contract employees, students and visitors.
This policy applies to anyone who enters DHC, MHMH and Northern New England Community Practices owned property or off campus D-H worksites.
The success of this policy will depend upon the thoughtfulness, consideration and cooperation of smokers and non-smokers. All persons share in the responsibility for adhering to and enforcing the policy.
The management of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic realize that it will be difficult for some employees to refrain from smoking in the workplace. Dartmouth-Hitchcock offers many resources in the area of tobacco cessation, many of which can be found online at the DHMC Quitting Smoking site.
