We are 100% Smoke Free

Beginning January 14, 2008, Bay Area Medical Center is making all its facilities 100 percent tobacco-free. This policy applies to everyone – patients, family, visitors, volunteers and staff.

So beginning January 14, if you need to light up, you’ll have to go elsewhere. But we’d really like it if you decided to go tobacco-free yourself. Your lungs, heart, family and friends will be glad you did.

A tobacco-free campus is just one more way Bay Area Medical Center is setting the standard for health and wellness in Marinette and Menominee Counties and the surrounding communities.
