"We are a Smoke-Free Campus"
As part of our commitment to provide you and our patients at Placentia-Linda Hospital with a healthy environment, Placentia-Linda Hospital is a “Smoke-Free Campus.”
-
Our smoke-free campus policy prohibits the use of tobacco products anywhere on Hospital owned property, including parking lots, entrances and courtyards. This includes all employees, patients, families and visitors. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Although this ban may be challenging for some, as your partner in health, we feel this initiative is in the best interest of the health of our community. It protects our patients, visitors, employees and physicians from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke and promotes a healthy lifestyle.
We hope you will respect these guidelines and help us in our efforts.
Again, thank you for your cooperation.
