Message From Our Board Chair: Brian Hammersley  

Friends and Supporters of the Robert Crown Center-

As the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Robert Crown Center for Health Education I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your past support. As you probably know, there have recently been some exciting changes here at the center.   We determined that the time was right to switch to a 100% in school delivery model, to sell the building that we've called home for over 40 years and to complete dramatic updates to our programming to be more compelling and engaging to our audiences.  All of this in the same year that we educated our six millionth student! 

In Case You Missed It.

On March 6 NBC News reported a recent study on e-cigarettes and vaping.

Teens inhale cancer-causing chemicals in e-cigarettes

Smoking e-cigarettes delivers cancer-causing chemicals that get into the body - and popular fruity flavors appear to be the worst, researchers reported Monday.

They said teenagers who try vaping may be poisoning themselves with many of the same chemicals that make traditional cigarettes so deadly.
