"Cigarette smoking is the chief single avoidable cause of death in our society and the most important public health issue of our time."
C. Everett Koop, MD
US Surgeon General 1981-1989
All ThedaCare locations became "Tobacco Free" on May 31, 2004. This means that smoking and consumption of tobacco related products are not be allowed onsite or in parking lots on any ThedaCare owned or leased property. In an effort to further our mission of improving the health of our community we felt this was the right thing to do for our patients, their families and our employees.
