Dedicated to improving the health of our community, as of January 1, 2009, Brooksville Regional Hospital, along with all other Hernando County Hospitals, is a tobacco free campus.
We do offer a FREE Smoking Cessation Program, facilitated by Gulfcoast North Area Health Education Center. These are 6 week sessions. For information on the next set of classes, please call 352-540-6800 ext. 82148.
