"In Person" Together We Can Quit Tobacco Recovery Group for Adults

"Together We Can " is a free 8 week educational program for adults interested in reducing their risk of chronic disease by quitting tobacco use. This program is brought to you by Harmony Health's Community Connections.   

Did you know that in 2019, the top 2 leading causes of death in Mecklenburg County were cancer and heart disease? Chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure account for almost 50% of deaths in the county. Addressing risk factors such as smoking and obesity can act as a way to decrease the rates of deaths and illness. The Together We Can 8 week program is a support system to aid adults in quitting tobacco use and creating a healthier lifestyle.
