The Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority has announced the launch of the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation at Stanton Territorial Hospital. The program aims to help smokers get care while in hospital, and afterwards.
The Ottawa Model is a proven method, combining identification, advice, medication support, and regular follow up appointments to help smokers successfully quit.
Residents in Yellowknife, Ndılǫ, and Dettah will be able to book free, private appointments for one‑on‑one support, prescriptions for nicotine replacement therapies, and follow‑up appointments as needed.
The program will be offered at Stanton Territorial Hospital starting March 27.
