Patients who work with their healthcare providers are ultimately more successful in their attempts to quit using tobacco. We help local healthcare providers, clinics, and hospitals implement evidence-based interventions for their organization with all tobacco users. We provide FREE consultation and training for healthcare professionals using the strategies below.
