In conjunction
with the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smoke-Out, most
major healthcare facilities in the Austin area will become smoke and
tobacco-free as of Thursday, November 15, 2007.
The ADC Board of Directors supports this decision and has voted to
include all Austin Diagnostic Clinic places of business in this
initiative. |
 |
|
Effective this date, patients, visitors, vendors, staff members and
physicians will be prohibited from smoking and using tobacco
products not only within the facility, but the surrounding and
adjacent grounds of each campus at which ADC operates its business.
(*Exceptions noted below) For campuses affected by this policy, the
surrounding and adjacent grounds include the designated parking lots
and spaces, as well as any and all vehicles parked or operated in
the designated parking lots and spaces.
We know that it will take time to communicate this change to our
patients and visitors and we thank you in advance for your
compliance with this new policy.

Board of Directors
*Certain leased campuses are not, at this time, affected by this
additional designation. Please inquire with a supervisor or manager
to locate designated smoking areas at the Imaging Center, Far West,
and the San Marcos locations. |
