How are you practicing self-care today?

Congratulations to Britni Novina, who recently received the Star Leadership award from the Tobacco Education & Prevention Coalition for Porter County (TEPCPC)! As Clinical Care Coordinator for our Inpatient Care Center, she has supported and encouraged many of our clients to quit tobacco by referring them to Quit Now Indiana. If you’re interested in tobacco cessation services, talk with your Porter-Starke Services provider. Many of our team members are trained Tobacco Treatment Specialists and we can help!
