Freedom From Smoking

In seven sessions, Freedom From Smoking gives you the critical tools of information and group support to help you stay smoke-free.  In addition, each participant’s carbon monoxide level is determined to learn about his or her risk of serious disease from this highly poisonous gas.

The group will discuss:

  • The impact smoking has on an individual’s health
  • Smoking as an addiction
  • People, places and other factors that trigger the urge to light up

Freedom From Smoking is a group program developed by the American Lung Association that gives smokers the skills and support they need to quit smoking for good.

Paul Fry-Miller PA-C, physician assistant with Parkview Medical Group-Huntington Health Park, facilitates the Freedom From Smoking program locally.  Fry-Miller has more than 25 years experience in family practice.  He understands how hard it is for smokers to quit and has helped hundreds succeed.  Fry-Miller will help participants develop individualized quit plans.

Registered Dietitian-Nutrition Education

Our PHH staff Dietitian is available by appointment to visit your facility and provide nutrition education and counseling to your employees.  Sessions will be scheduled by the hour, per your request.
