TOBACCO DEPENDENCE MANAGEMENT

May 10, 2023

Description:

Community providers working at the health department and in similar environments care for an at-risk population for tobacco addiction. Tobacco use increases risk for various cancers among other health care issues. Education to medical community is needed to provide resources and support with treatment of addiction; currently no CME is being offered through CalvertHealth or other institutions to provide this service; this speaker has engaged regularly with our community on tobacco and vaping prevention and treatment opportunities. Offering this expertise to community providers is an effort to Improve health equity and decrease disparities.

Desired Result: 

Improve knowledge and provide resources to change health care provider practice. Improve health care support of those who use tobacco or experience tobacco addiction.
