Pharmacists Manitoba launched a Social Impact Bond with the Manitoba Government last April referred to as Quit Smoking With Your Manitoba Pharmacist. The goal is to help 45 hundred Manitobans become smoke free by March 31st, 2025. In Flin Flon the Phamasave Health Centre at 31 Church Street is part of the program.
Individuals eligible for this program must be 18 years of age or older, be a Manitoba resident with a valid Manitoba Health Card and consent to participate in the program. Individuals involved will receive up to a one hundred dollar subsidy towards smoking cessation products along with counseling sessions.
CEO of Pharmacists Manitoba Tanjit Nagra notes quitting smoking is not an easy task but they hope with the help of a pharmacist and resources made available through this initiative interested participants will feel motivated and supported every step of the way.
