Smoke-Free Campus

At Adventist Health Bakersfield (AHBD), we care about the health of our patients, staff and community. That's just one of the reasons why we created Kern County's only tobacco-free hospital campus. AHBD employees, patients and visitors are not permitted to smoke while on campus.

If you are a patient admitted to AHBD, please notify your nurse if you use tobacco. This information will be forwarded to your physician, who can make arrangements to provide you with tobacco-cessation products or discuss alternative resources for you.

Thank you for your cooperation with AHBD's smoke-free policy and for helping us maintain a healthy environment for everyone on our medical campus.
