The Cleveland Clinic, which runs a hospital in Weston and a new outpatient health center in West Palm Beach, will no longer hire smokers, the company announced today.
The world famous health institution will require all job applicants to be tested for the presence of nicotine in their urine. Starting Sept. 1 applicants who test positive for tobacco products will be referred to smoking cessation programs and be allowed to reapply in 90 days.
The smoking ban does not apply to current employees.
During July and August, the company will begin testing new employees for nicotine, but a positive test will not affect an applicants employment status.
