Effective immediately, smoking cessation at Ochsner is free for all adults in Louisiana and Mississippi, a news release said.Â
The program is offered at 27 Ochsner Health locations, including two locations in Baton Rouge. It provides medical and social support resources to smokers looking to kick the habit for good. Resources for individuals looking to quit vaping, which has created a national health crisis, are also covered in the program.
Ochsner is expanding its commitment to help people stop smoking with new locations in New Orleans East, Monroe, Shreveport and Lake Charles, as well as Hancock, Mississippi. It will offer increased access in Baton Rouge at both Ochsner Health Center-OâNeal and Ochsner Medical Complex-The Grove.
