Intro:

The American Cancer Society and ENT and Allergy Associates, LLP (ENTA) are once again teaming up to bring a strong and relevant anti-smoking message to teens and ENTA patients through a strategic partnership that includes outreach to local high schools and patient education.

"The most effective way for us to fight cancer is to partner with systems in our communities to reach the largest number of people possible," said Dee McCabe, Executive Vice President, American Cancer Society. "ENTA has been a great partner, reaches thousands of people a day, and truly is committed to improving health of their patients."

"At ENTA, we see far too many patients-each and every week-afflicted with cancer…so our partnership with the American Cancer Society allows us to educate people about the dangers of smoking, and point them toward smoking cessation and cancer prevention" said Dr. Wayne Eisman, President of ENT and Allergy Associates. "We are delighted to do everything we possibly can to help the ACS fight smoking, particularly among young people."
