Healthy Living Clinic Initiative | Center for Healthcare Policy and Research

The HLCI was funded by the California Department of Public Health, California Tobacco Prevention Program. WHPG provided consultation and technical support to 27 community clinic sites serving at-risk populations.

The HLCI enabled these community clinics to:

1. Implement quality improvement (QI) methods to improve tobacco cessation efforts
2. Improve the use of clinical data to track program effectiveness
3. Provide people who use tobacco with guidance in nutrition, physical activity, and stress management as part of a whole health approach
4. Adopt and implement model tobacco-free clinic policies
