Tobacco use is not allowed in the hospital and surrounding areas, including parking lots. If you're coming to Genesis as a patient who uses tobacco, we encourage you to talk with your physician about alternatives, such as nicotine replacement therapy, lozenges or gum that can make you more comfortable while in our care. Visitors may be offered nicotine gum at our information desk in our main lobby and in the emergency department.
