Benefits of the Smoking Cessation Program at HANDS Clinic
The health benefits of quitting smoking begin within hours and compound over time — improved lung function, reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, and stroke, and better quality of life overall. With professional support and nicotine replacement therapy, your chances of quitting successfully increase significantly compared to going it alone.
Why HANDS Clinic
HANDS Clinic is invested in the long-term health of our community — and that means addressing the root behaviors that drive chronic disease. Our Smoking Cessation program is one of the most proactive things we offer, helping patients reduce their risk of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness before those conditions develop. It's prevention in action, backed by real support.
No. HANDS Clinic specifically serves adults who do not have insurance. You do not need to have — or get — insurance to receive care here. Our eligibility requirements are based on income and residency, not insurance status.
Eligibility is based on four factors: income level, St. Lucie County residency, age (19–64), and insurance status. The easiest way to find out is to fill out our eligibility form — it only takes a few minutes and will determine whether you qualify for care.
Yes. Services at HANDS Clinic are provided at no cost to eligible patients. There are no copays, no fees, and no surprise bills. Most services are completely free; some specialty referrals may be at a discounted rate. Your care team will always be upfront with you about what's included.
Most people try to quit several times before they succeed — that's completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of. Our program is designed to support you through the process without judgment. The combination of professional coaching and nicotine replacement therapy significantly improves your chances of success compared to quitting alone.
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) includes products like patches, gum, or lozenges that help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while you quit smoking. HANDS Clinic provides a one-month supply at no cost as part of the Smoking Cessation program.
