Tobacco Grant Helps Classes

By Jasmine Delane
West Virginia University at Parkersburg’s Health and Wellness Center nurse, Charlene McNulty, RN, applied for and received a $5000 grant from the West Virginia Division of Tobacco Prevention. The site coordinator for Tobacco Prevention Programs is Carrie Brainard and WVUP’s coordinator is student Jamie Barton. The grant the center received is being used to find tobacco education events and cessation classes. Anyone interested in these cessation classes should contact the Health and Wellness Center by calling 424-8205 or stopping by Room 1203 in the main hallway.

Also, congratulations to Jim Haines, Hope Ash, Ed Crisp, and Debbie Defibaugh, the graduates of the first smoking cessation class.
