Richmond hospitals to ban use of tobacco products
By News in Brief
Published: July 28, 2008
Starting in November, the use of all tobacco products will be banned on CJW Medical Center’s campuses in Richmond.
The ban applies both to inside buildings and outside on campus grounds. CJW’s Johnston-Willis and Chippenham campuses have banned smoking inside buildings for some time.
The new ban goes into effect November 20.
CJW Chief Executive Officer Peter Marmerstein says the new policy supports the hospital’s core mission of quality care and improving the health of the community.
A spokeswoman for CJW’s owner, HCA Incorporated, says other HCA hospitals in the area may adopt similar policies.
