Tobacco-free Work Place

Smoking and second-hand smoke are the country's most preventable causes of death today, contributing to about 440,000 deaths in the U.S. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, we are one of many hospitals and health system leaders demonstrating their commitment to a healthier environment by implementing smoke and tobacco-free campuses for employees, patients and visitors.

Our tobacco-free policy was put into effect on July 1, 2009. The tobacco-free policy bans smoking and tobacco products at Midland Memorial Hospital inclusive of the hospital, the entire grounds, the outpatient pharmacy, West Campus, all the parking lots, hospital's off site locations, in hospital vehicles and in personal vehicles on hospital properties.

Beginning January 1, 2012, employment offers that have been made to prospective individuals who test positive for tobacco will be rescinded. Those individuals testing positive may reapply after 30 days.
