Smoke-free, Tobacco-free

Meriter is committed to providing a tobacco-free environment. Smoking or tobacco use of any kind is prohibited on ALL Meriter property and grounds.

We are proud to create a healthy, healing environment for patients, visitors, volunteers and employees.

Please note:

  • Tobacco use is not permitted in the buildings, on the grounds or in the parking ramps and lots as indicated on the map at right. A printable map is available, if you wish.
     
  • Please be respectful of our neighbors' property and do not leave cigarette butts or other tobacco product waste.
     
  • We realize that smoking or chewing tobacco is a powerful addiction. But thousands quite every year, and you can, too! For tips on quitting, go to www.meriter.com/quitsmoking. Meriter also offers a Tobacco Free for Me class. Click the title to learn more and register online. Note that you also can receive free counseling by calling the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800-784-8669).
     
  • If you are a patient and are thinking about quitting, please talk with Meriter’s nurses and your physician about counseling and medications (nicotine patch, Zyban and Chantix) that could help you while you are a patient and after going home.

Thank you for helping maintain a healthier environment for everyone.
