The Tobacco-Free AHSC Policy</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";font-weight:normal'>will promote and support a healthier community, conform to the mission of AHSC and its affiliated entities, and align AHSC colleges with University of Arizona Health Network entities. You may have read that the University of Arizona Medical Center, a UAHN member, became a smoke-free facility on January 1, 2012. While some UAHN employees work in UA facilities, so do UA employees work in such areas as the University of Arizona Medical Center. As we move forward with the integrated University of Arizona Healthcare Network, it will be helpful to align our policies whenever reasonable and possible. A tobacco-free approach is proposed because it sends a clear message that the Arizona Health Sciences Center and the University of Arizona Health Network support and encourage wellness and healthy behavior. This approach eliminates ambiguity or confusion about what is or is not allowed at AHSC on the parts of employees, students, visitors, contractors and vendors. <o:p></o:p></span></h4><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-autospace:none'>In the spirit of shared governance and good policy-making, the developers of the proposed policy are presenting it widely among members of the campus community, soliciting comments and feedback from potential affected stakeholders.
