To support a healthy environment for patients, visitors and staff, all Salem Health facilities are nonsmoking, including sidewalks and parking areas. Nurses will not take patients outside to smoke and hospital equipment cannot be taken outside.
The use of e-cigarettes is also prohibited.
If you smoke, we can make your stay more comfortable with coping techniques. You can purchase over-the-counter nicotine gum and patches from our pharmacy in Building C and nicotine gum in the Building A gift shop. Smoking cessation counseling is also
available through our Community Health Education Center.
