Andrews Is A Tobacco Free Workplace

The Andrews Institute ASC (AIASC) is committed to promoting health, wellness, and disease prevention and to providing a safe, clean and healthy environment to Workforce Members, patients, and visitors. The use of tobacco and tobacco products is a known and established hazard to the health and well-being of tobacco users and can also directly impact nonusers. In addition, the use of tobacco and tobacco products has been shown to decrease employee productivity and efficiency and increase absenteeism. In recognition of these factors, the Andrews Institute ASC will no longer hire tobacco users.
