As the e-cigarette and vaping epidemic continues to grow, St. Elizabeth is committed to providing the education and care needed to stop this crisis in our community. The St. Elizabeth Foundation, through the employee Vision Campaign, has raised funds to help us bring education on this topic to students and the community. On this page we have gathered information and resources that teachers, students, administrators, and youth leaders can use to bring this message to students in Northern Kentucky, Southeastern Indiana, Greater Cincinnati and beyond.

Take a look at the available resources and use the Contact Us form to send any questions to us. We have staff available to consult with organizations who are looking to help support this initiative through programming or educational outreach.
