Healthy Workplace Pilot Recognition Program: October 15-November 15
Workplace Recognition Program to Launch in Portland
In April 2021, a survey was distributed to Portland Downtown businesses to gauge the interest for a pilot statewide recognition program through MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence and Portland Public Health that would celebrate the efforts that local businesses make to keep spaces tobacco-free.
An overwhelming 85% of respondents shared that they believe it’s important for businesses to play a role in supporting tobacco-free spaces, and we are officially launching the pilot to thank you for these efforts. Awardees will receive branded materials to display and public recognition. Additional details can be found in the online application.
Applications for the Breathe Easy Healthy Workplace program can be submitted between October 25 - November 15, 2021. Sites can either apply directly or reach out to Kirsten Goodrich of Portland Public Health for application guidance and free resources.
