La Porte County residents eligible for free Smoking Cessation program

10/27/2023

Northwest Health – La Porte will offer the eight-week American Lung Association’s Freedom from Smoking course beginning Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023. The course, which is free to La Porte County residents, will be held Tuesdays from 5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. in the group fitness room at the Northwest Health Rehabilitation and Wellness facility (the Crossing) located at 1203 Washington Street in La Porte.

During the course, participants will work with a trained facilitator and other individuals who want to quit tobacco. The goal is to set a quit date and build a quit plan to work through the first few months of a tobacco-free life.

The program will focus on coping strategies for managing stress, lifestyle changes, medications to assist them in quitting smoking, and ways to help participants stay tobacco-free for good.

The program is being offered at no charge to La Porte County residents thanks to a generous grant from the Healthcare Foundation of La Porte. To register for the Freedom from Smoking program, visit: nwhinfo.com/FreedomFromSmoking. Registration is required.
