Smoke Free St Joe partnered with Raise it for Health, the coalition of Tobacco Free Indiana and Healthier Indiana, to advocate for solutions to public health funding in our state. At this meeting, we discuss how together we make Indiana the State the Works AND lives healthier! A healthy workforce is key to the economic success of Hoosier businesses. Providing a healthy start in life will reduce infant mortality and reduce healthcare costs over a lifetime.

For one local employer in attendance, he found the biggest return on their investment in regard to employee wellness and insurance savings: helping staff quit tobacco.

Private employers, community members, healthcare workers, and other advocates gather to discuss how to reduce the lift fellow Hoosiers to better heath.
