MUSC MessageSupport MUSC Mission

Improve health and maximize quality of life…

“Hopefully, the message that it sends is that MUSC is committed not to just treating illness once it develops, but in preventing it from occurring in the first place…”

“…this policy shift dovetails with MUSC's goal of putting more resources into preventive care. MUSC has a growing number of clinical programs focused on prevention.”

Key Words for Key MomentsPromoting Compliance

If you see someone using tobacco products…“Excuse me, you may not be aware, we are now a tobacco-free campus….meaning that

tobacco products are prohibited on MUSC property, grounds, and parking areas. Thank you for your cooperation.”

May I use tobacco in my vehicle?“I am sorry, but the use of tobacco products is also prohibited in personal vehicles parked

on MUSC property.”

I have to have a cigarette! My loved one is very ill or just passed away.“I am very sorry to hear about your loved one. How can I help you through this stressful

time while still respecting the Tobacco-Free policy of this facility?”  Where am I allowed to smoke?“Smoking and other tobacco products are not allowed anywhere on the MUSC campus.

If you need to smoke or use tobacco products, you will need to leave the campus.” If the person using tobacco becomes hostile…Walk away and contact security.

Key Words for Key MomentsPromoting Compliance

It takes everyone!

• Compliance must go hand-in-hand with compassion

• Emphasize education and support

• Use best judgment in tragic and stressful situations

Clearing the Air• Effective Thursday, March 1, 2012

• Community celebration in September– Recognition of benefits and outcomes of

Mr. Bobby Dickson

Unit: Wellness Center

Where were you born? Greenville, SC

Hobbies: Reading and bowling

Something your parents told you? Don’t do the first thing that pops into your mind, think about it first.

One Person at your fantasy dinner? My oldest daughter, Treu

Words of advice? Stay busy!

 

Ms. Stacey Stallons

Unit: Enrollment Management

Where were you born? In the small town of Paducah in Western Kentucky. I still have the country accent to prove it.

Hobbies: Watching independent films and horror films with my husband, rescuing homeless dogs (I currently own a retired racing greyhound and a pit bull mix), and artsy stuff: creating invitations and cards, event planning and design, and interior design.

Something your parents told you? Always stand tall and never be afraid to stand out.

One person at your fantasy dinner: Hillary Clinton. She is a brilliant woman and one of the most inspiring female leaders alive. Besides, no one can rock a pantsuit like she can.

Words of advice? Do not fear change; rather, embrace it. There is nothing more satisfying than taking on a new place or situation and making it your own.
