Mission Statement
Our mission at the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) is to decrease smoking rates and increase the number of health professionals who help smokers quit. We aim to drive health systems transformation and deliver sustainable solutions through providing technical assistance, organizing leadership summits, social marketing, bringing together catalytic leaders, and producing national webinars for education. We develop synergistic partnerships for results and have established over 100 partnerships with dental hygienists, nurses, pharmacists, emergency physicians, hospitals, family physicians, mental health and substance abuse providers, advocates, and leadership.
Our News
- With the “unwinding” of continuous eligibility for individuals enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP, many Americans will soon become uninsured if they haven't already. There are opportunities for states to limit the number of people getting dis-enrolled from Medicaid and losing access to healthcare, including quit-smoking treatment.
