Live & Breathe

Athens Regional is tobacco-free.

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, and secondhand smoke, in particular, places our patients at risk.

As a healthcare leader, ARHS is committed to providing excellence in patient care, maintaining a safe, healing environment and promoting healthy lifestyles. So, we've decided that going tobacco free is simply the right thing to do.

We know this change affects our employees, patients and visitors, so we're arming you with all the help we can provide, including Freshstart classes, counseling, nicotine replacement and regular tips to help you quit. For more information, visit the Tips for Quitting and Resources pages.

We hope you'll plan to go tobacco free and commit to a healthier you.
