I recently attending the Quit Smoking Now 6-week program offered in Gainesville. I'm writing to thank the Suwannee River AHEC for offering this cost-free program... I have been a non-smoker for over 3 weeks with the help of this program. The group counseling is a really effective approach and the provision of nicotine replacement (patches for me) has been very helpful...The information provided in the manual is thought provoking and the sets of recommended strategies have been super helpful. I feel much more equipped to stay quit this time than I was on previous quit attempts.

I'm so glad that we had Manette as the counselor at our site/for this series; she is fantastic! Her non-judgmental and understanding tone were comforting and her insights into addiction and human behavior were impressive. She struck a good balance between letting us share with each other and relaying information/strategies.

Thanks again for offering this program! Read More...

According to the Pew Charitable Trust’s Center on the States report for 2011, Florida had the worst performance of all states for low-income children’s access to dental care. Lack of fluoridated water supplies, and lack of dentists and pediatric dentists who accept Medicaid in rural areas contribute to the problem making additional and purposeful preventive care solutions extremely important for these areas.
