McHenry County Department of Health
(MCDH) and Centegra Health System are partnering to offer a once-a-week quit
smoking class for adults beginning on Wednesday, May 16. The 7-week class
will teach practical ways to end nicotine addiction through group support and
behavior modification. It will also review nicotine replacement products
that are currently on the market. Instruction is provided by MCDH staff that is
trained in the American Lung Association’s “Freedom from Smoking” program.
Classes will be held at Centegra
Health Bridge Fitness Center in Crystal Lake, located at 200 Congress Parkway,
on Wednesdays, from 6pm-7:30pm. A $25 course fee, payable at the first class,
is refundable if all seven sessions are attended. Class members will also
receive a free 3-day pass to the Health Bridge Fitness Center.
For more information, and to
