Forsyth Health and Human Services will be a tobacco-free campus starting in April

The Forsyth County Health and Human Services campus on Highland Avenue will become a tobacco-free campus on April 1.

The HHS campus consists of

• The Departments of Social Services and Public Health
• The Annex 1 building that includes Behavioral Health Services and the Bridges to Hope Family Justice Center
• The Highland Avenue Center
• The Cleveland Avenue Dental Clinic
• The Emergency Medical Services Building
• The Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center library

The tobacco-free policy includes all the buildings, grounds and parking lots on the campus.

This is being done in preparation for state regulations that require operations that bill Medicaid-- like Social Services, Behavioral Health and Public Health-- to be on a tobacco-free campus.
