Smoking Cessation

The Willow Clinic’s Smoking Cessation committee is dedicated to informing patients about the mental and medical benefits of living a smoke-free lifestyle through a personalized program tailored to their values and needs. Utilizing motivational interviewing and weekly patient sessions, our program equips patients with the knowledge and confidence to quit or reduce their tobacco usage. By combining behavior and medication therapy, we provide various options to help patients achieve their goals.

Services Offered:

• Weekly Patient Sessions: Held every Saturday from 10 am to 12 pm at 1400 N A St Bldg A, our sessions offer individualized support to help patients quit or reduce tobacco use.

• Holistic Support: Our program addresses both behavioral and medical aspects, ensuring a comprehensive approach to smoking cessation.

• Free Quit Kits and Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRTs): Including gum, patches, and more, available to all participants.

• Referrals to Cessation Programs: We connect patients with resources such as Kick It California and other cessation programs for additional support.

Our cardiology referrals are especially beneficial for patients with cardiovascular conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension, CHF, and other health-related issues. These services aim to monitor and improve heart health, particularly important for those transitioning to a smoke-free lifestyle.   

Cardiology Clinic Referrals with Imani Clinic:

• Monthly Cardiology Services: Offered on the second weekend of every month, providing patients with counseling by a cardiologist and EKG services.

• Free Transportation: Imani provides Uber rides to and from the First Step Communities location for all patients attending the cardiology clinic.
