Come November my hospital is implimenting a no smoking on hospital property. The reason is to promote better health of the staff and pts. I smoke and I am in the process of trying to quit d/t it will take to long to leave the grounds to smoke and I do not want to go thru withdraw every night I work. Plus its not a bad idea to quit anyways.
Now I am also over weight along with many of my co workers. I joined they ymca recently for about four hundred dollars a year. Most of my co workers refuse to pay this amount but would work out if it was available for less cost. Now my question is, if a hospital is so concerned about employee health, why not build a gym in the hospital that employees can use before or after work? This would benifit more workers then kicking smokers off hospital grounds.
Do any of you have gyms at your hospital and is it a positive thing?
