an excellent outreach for hospitals. See what hospitals and others are saying.

In a little over an hour, Reynolds went from being just another anti-tobacco speaker to something

Within the first five minutes, I was amazed to watch Patrick Reynolds create an extraordinary
bond with our school's culturally diverse and economically underprivileged teens," said Hali
Rosen, a teacher at Hawthorne (CA) High.

2. After his opening story about his own father's absence, and the sadness and anger he felt as a
youth because of it, he asked the students, 'How many of you do not have your biological fathers
living at home with you?' When over 50% of the audience slowly raised their hands, our students
seemed to realize that these shared emotions cross all economic and social borders -- and a bond
was formed. After that, the students listened quietly and respectfully, and I could see real interest
in their faces, as they related to his overheads and the moving stories he told, so very effectively
and skillfully."

Reynolds' impassioned talks were informative, funny, profound, motivating and poignant. A
dazzling speaker, he skillfully mixed colorful stories about the RJ Reynolds family,
Massachusetts and national tobacco data on a range of issues. Throughout his thought-provoking
lectures, Reynolds interacted with his audiences and closed with an inspiring promise of the
coming tobaccofree society.
We received positive feedback from the community, students, teachers, and the general public.
One member of the community told me, 'Jordan Hospital performed a great service to the
community by bringing Patrick Reynolds to Plymouth.
As a result of the lectures, Jordan Hospital received strong pre- and post-lecture media coverage
in the Boston Globe, the Old Colony Memorial newspaper, an interview on Boston's WBZ-AM
radio station and local radio as well. Patrick Reynolds' passion and belief in his mission of
preventing children from smoking was a resounding success for the community and for Jordan
Hospital," said Christopher Smalley, Director of Marketing at Jordan Hospital in Plymouth,
Massachusetts.
