For Patients and Visitors
No Smoking Policy
For your health and the health of others, effective November 15, 2007,
Holy Cross Hospital is a tobacco-free facility. Smoking is not allowed
anywhere on the hospital grounds.
Holy Cross Hospital is participating in a regional effort that includes
all hospitals in Montgomery County, and Frederick Memorial Hospital. Tobacco
use will not be permitted inside hospital buildings, in parking lots or
anywhere on the grounds of these facilities. This policy will apply to
all patients, visitors, medical staff members, volunteers, vendors, contracted
staff and employees of all of these hospitals.
Holy Cross Hospital will offer smoking cessation
programs as well as nicotine replacement products for those who request
them. Nicotine replacement products will be made available through our pharmacy
for patients with a physician’s prescription and for purchase by visitors
in our gift shop.
