Breathe Easier at the Eye Center
As a leader in health care, beginning June 1st, all Eye Center of North Florida offices will be joining area hospitals in becoming a Smoke~ Free Campus. This means the premises are entirely tobacco~free. Tobacco use of any kind is prohibited ~ both inside and outside~ by employees, patients, and visitors.
Our decision to go tobacco~free is not an attempt to force anyone to quit using tobacco products. Rather, the tobacco~free initiative is a concrete way we can demonstrate our ongoing commitment to healthy living.
We appreciate your help and support as we head toward June 1st. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Administration, Kathi Nichols.
