Mission Statement

The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) reduces disparities in tobacco use and increases cessation through community partnerships. We aim to drive health systems change by eliminating barriers to access to tobacco treatment, promoting tobacco policy that supports cessation, and providing education and training.
