Tobacco Free York County Coalition

This coalition is a group of York County citizens working together to improve the health of adults and children in the community. We look towards a smoke-free future made possible through advocacy, education, and smart policies.

Dr. David Keely has worked in family medicine in the York County area for over 35 years. He graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina and later continued his education at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill working towards a degree in epidemiology.
