UTMC and Community Hospitals Support Tobacco Free Campuses

As of January 1, 2011, the University of Tennessee Medical Center is a tobacco-free campus. This policy applies to everyone on its campus, including patients, visitors, staff, physicians and their office staff, the UT Graduate School of Medicine, and vendors. The campus includes all University Health Systems properties and facilities throughout the region. Smoking cessation information is available by calling 865-305-8577.

Joining the medical center in this policy change as a community-wide health initiative are other major health systems in the Knoxville region: Blount Memorial Hospital, Covenant Health, East Tennessee Children's Hospital and Mercy Health Partners.
