Courage To Quit: Tobacco Cessation Program


In conjunction with Nova Southeastern University’s Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) program, Holy Cross Health offers evidence-based group smoking cessation classes. This free program provides participants with the tools and techniques to quit and remain tobacco-free by experts in the field. Participants are welcome to share their experiences with others in a trusting and supportive group environment. 

The classes are designed to help develop your personal quit plan and more than doubles your chances of success. Class topics include: 

  • Coping with triggers and withdrawal symptoms 
  • Managing addiction 
  • Preventing relapse 

Participants can receive a free full month’s supply of nicotine replacement therapy, such as patches, gum, or lozenges (if medically appropriate for those 18 years of age or older).
