Want To Quit Smoking?

Call after the holiday to reserve your spot for the next quit smoking class. McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) and Centegra Health System has partnered to offer a 7-week quit smoking class for adults beginning on Thursday, January 12. 

Classes will be held at Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center in Huntley, located at 10450 Algonquin Road, every Thursday, 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.

The 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.

For more information, and to register, call 1-877-CENTEGRA, or visit www.mcdh.info.

To speak with a counselor immediately, call the Illinois Tobacco Quitline at 1-866-QUIT-YES.
