It’s never too late to quit—even after years of heavy smoking. The body retains an incredible ability to heal itself after you stop smoking, and Monadnock Community Hospital’s QUIT 2b FIT program is here to help you on this journey. As the region’s most comprehensive smoking cessation program, QUIT 2b FIT offers a supportive group environment that focuses on education, behavior modification, mindfulness, and exercise.

Our program tailors treatment strategies to your individual needs, ensuring the most effective path to becoming smoke-free. Participants benefit from the expertise of our Wellness Coaches and Pulmonary Program Specialists, who lead the sessions with compassion and understanding.

As one participant, Joyce, shared:
“This is the best class I’ve attended in the last 20 years. Your presentations were non-judgmental and supportive, and you created a comfortable environment for group sharing.”

Program Highlights:

  • Personalized Tobacco Counseling: Individual sessions with a Tobacco Treatment Specialist to evaluate your smoking habits and develop a customized quit plan.
  • Wellness Coaching: Receive motivation, clarity, and direction from Wellness Coaches to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle.
