CTMC has taken the next step towards the overall goal of Creation Health by going entirely smoke-free for employees, patients and visitors alike. CTMC is providing a number of resources, including assistance for employees, patients, or visitors with nicotine addictions who wish to quit smoking.
As a member of the Adventist Health System, CTMC supports the philosophy and beliefs of the Creation Health principles. Creation Health is a growing, faith-based movement that focuses on the creation, enhancement, restoration and promotion of good health.
One might compare the Creation Health concept to the growing “green movement” that strives to create a healthier earth. By making certain choices and helping others to do the same, more and more of us can live happier, healthier and more productive lives. CTMC has long supported this concept by providing services such as daily vegetarian meals, the Life Plus community education classes and the community Walking Trail; to name a few.
