As of January 1, 2019, all of Eastern Plumas Health Care's campuses are now smoke-free, including e-cigarettes (vaping). This new policy covers the building grounds and parking lots of all EPHC campuses. "implementing smoke-free campuses at EPHC is very exciting, it feels like a natural progression for the district as our whole purpose is to promote the health and well-being of our community," said EPHC's Human Resources Manager Annie Yoakum. She has been working with Leila Srouji and James Wilson at Plumas County Department of Public Health, who "reached out to us and have played a critical role in helping us with our implementation roadmap," added Yoakum.
