ST. FRANCIS TO OFFER FREEDOM FROM SMOKING

Freedom From Smoking, an American Lung Association program, will be offered at St. Francis Medical Center beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6.

This seven-week plan uses a behavior-changing approach meant to teach participants how to become non-smokers. Participants quit the third week and receive material and knowledge to help them remain non-smokers the following weeks.

They also will learn how to avoid weight gain and build a healthier lifestyle.

The cost is $50 a person. For more information, call the St. Francis Medical Center Wellness Department at 339-6838.
