Fax Referral Challenge Flyer: The Fax Referral Challenge flyer gives you information about the Challenge and can be printed and posted in your hospital.
Fax Referral Form: This is the Fax Referral Form to be filled out by healthcare providers and faxed to the NC Tobacco Use Quitline at 1-800-483-3114.
List of Hospitals: Check your hospitals name for entering it onto the Fax Referral Form. Make sure all personnel using the form are consistent in how to enter the name of your hospital. Consider customizing the form so the hospital name is pre-filled in.
