Lead a Healthier Lifestyle; Help Parkland Be a Smoke-Free Campus

As part of our wellness initiative, Parkland is a smoke-free campus.

- During Open Enrollment 2026, new hires who enrolled in the PEHP since Nov. 5, 2025, and any PEHP participant who has changed their smoking status since Open Enrollment 2025 will need to complete an attestation related to their status as a tobacco user. If you are a tobacco user and want to avoid paying the tobacco surcharge, you may attest to being a tobacco user willing to complete a tobacco cessation program. Parkland has resources to help you. Before June 30, 2027, complete a program and submit documentation to avoid the $30 surcharge per pay period.
- New hires who start work after Open Enrollment 2026 will attest to their tobacco use during Open Enrollment in October 2027.
