Regional West Physicians Clinic is pleased to announce the Quit Nicotine Now Program,designed to help adult patients, 19 and older to safely stop nicotine use.The goal is to provide counseling, tools, and resources to help patients kick the nicotine habit for good.
Abbie Fulk, APRN, a nurse practitioner with Regional West Physicians Clinic-Pulmonology, Critical Care, oversees the program. She has advanced training in the nicotine cessation process, and is an excellent resource for those who have made the decision to quit using nicotine, or have tried in the past to quit only to relapse later.
The program is covered by most private insurance, as well as by Medicaid and Medicare. It includes four patient visits a year, and a referral to the Nebraska Quit Line, which provides free, 24/7 access to counseling and support services. In addition, Abbie works with each patient to identify and prescribe aides designed to help curb nicotine cravings and eliminate the use of nicotine as part of daily life.
