Wellmont Shows Further Commitment to Health, Hiring People Who Are Not Using Tobacco Products
Wellmont Health System | November 08, 2016
Furthering its longstanding commitment to promote healthy living and provide optimal patient care, Wellmont Health System will restrict individuals it hires to those who do not use tobacco products. The newly adopted policy, which took effect Monday, Oct. 31, requires testing all applicants who have been offered employment at Wellmont for the presence of nicotine and other tobacco substances. Should the outcome of the test be positive, the conditional hiring process for an applicant will cease and the person will not be employed.
