About this clinic

The Smoking Cessation Clinic supports PHC and VCH patients and clients. It helps them reduce or quit smoking as part of their health care journey.

The Smoking Cessation Clinic offers comprehensive, evidence-based support to help people quit smoking. It serves patients who are seeking help after leaving the hospital or want to cut back on tobacco and quit.

We conduct in-person assessments and offer both virtual and in-person follow-up appointments.

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Please ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research.
