Effective December 8, 2008, the Pueblo City Council passed Ordinance 7938, to prohibit smoking on public right-of-ways surrounding hospitals and hospital owned and leased properties (Parkview Medical Center, all annex buildings, Medical Office Building, Greenwood Office Building, Blonde Office Building, parking garage, all parking lots, Employment Office, ParkWest Medical Complex, Chemical Dependence Unit, and Health Plaza North). This means smoking is not allowed on sidewalks, lawns, tree lawns, or alleys. Violating this ordinance is a Class 2 municipal offense. These measures are a necessary step in an effort to protect the health and safety of our patients, guests and staff.
As a reminder, there are three designated smoking areas on our main campus and one designated smoking area on all other campuses (except Pueblo West).
The smoking areas noted below are available until December 31, 2009. As of January 1, 2010 Parkview will be smoke free at all locations.
The smoking hut on the corner of the Greenwood and 16th Street (employees and visitors)
The designated smoking area behind the North Annex
(employees and visitors)
The designated smoking area near the loading dock on Greenwood (employees only)
Medical Office Building on Grand - the designated smoking areas on the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd floors of the parking structure
(employees of PMC and the MOB and visitors)
Health Plaza North – the designated smoking area behind CDU
(employees, patients, and visitors)
Maps identifying where the ordinance will be enforced can be found on Parkview’s Intranet or the Parkview website www.parkviewmc.com. Thank you for your cooperation.
