POW’R Tobacco Cessation has been working with Healthcare providers for over seven years. We work with physician groups, hospitals, and community health care clinics. In these years we have helped many facilities go to a Tobacco Free Campus and put in a systems-based approach to smoking cessation. Everything we do is evidence-based using Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence, 2008 Update as our guide.
