Baptist, Sacred Heart adopt tobacco-free hiring
Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System will start the New Year with a healthy choice for themselves and for others, as they adopted tobacco-free hiring policies beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Current employees who use tobacco products were not affected by the policy. To encourage healthy lifestyles, Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System are currently, and will continue to offer, tobacco cessation assistance to existing team members. Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System worked with the Partnership for a Healthy Community (PFAHC) on an assessment of the state of health in the two-county area that includes Escambia and Santa Rosa. Results revealed discouraging statistics related to tobacco use, obesity and health management. Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Health System became smoke-free campuses in 2010. The hiring policy is another step in support of a healthy workforce.
