The Center for Smoking Cessation at Seton Health is a leading organization in Albany, NY, dedicated to addressing and treating tobacco dependence. Covering an eight-county region, the Center provides educational and supportive programs to healthcare professionals and community members, aiming to prevent premature death from chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.
St. Mary's Hospital, part of Seton Health, is at the forefront of smoking cessation efforts, being one of the first hospitals in the state to launch the Opt to Quit program. By educating patients and helping them quit smoking, the hospital aims to improve patient care, reduce hospital readmissions, and minimize potential complications. Additionally, the Center supports the Smokefree Hospital Bill, which prohibits smoking on hospital campuses and within 15 feet of hospital and nursing home property lines, standardizing the policy across the state.
