Summit Medical Group transformed its "butt hut" (smoking area) into a green gazebo, with a Group-wide ban on smoking inside and out of all seven of its New Jersey locations. Ashtrays and bins were replaced with shrubs and flowers to complete the transition to a smoke-free environment. Happy Earth Day, from Summit Medical Group!

The Group recently held a smoking cessation clinic for employees and began a similar clinic for its patients and the public on April 21.
