Just notify us when you make your own reservation. If you have a blood glucose meter, please bring it along because you'll have an opportunity to ask questions about its use. You'll receive a 33-percent discount on parking if you park at the Wills Eye Hospital garage on Ninth Street between Walnut and Locust streets. Just have your ticket validated at the security desk inside Wills Eye Hospital's main entrance. Participants are asked to bring their own lunch, which can be kept in a refrigerator on the premises.
Space is limited.
On Thursday, November 17, break away from the pack by participating in the Great American Smokeout. For 18 years, the American Cancer Society has been encouraging smokers to kick the habit by giving up cigarettes for one day. Within 24 hours of smoking that last cigarette, the chance of heart attack is reduced, oxygen and carbon monoxide levels in the blood return to healthier amounts, and blood pressure and pulse rate drop. Jeffersonians are invited to visit the Health Awareness booth in the Atrium between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to pick up their smokeout survival kit. For many African-American men, a daily shave may result in something more serious than a few nicks and cuts.
