New Director's Corner Announces New Leadership at SCLC

New Director's Corner Announces New Leadership at SCLC.
The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center is delighted to announce that Dr. Nancy Rigotti will be their center’s new leader beginning January 2022. Dr. Steven Schroeder, who has led the center since founding it in 2003, has written a new Director’s Corner for our website to officially pass the baton to Dr. Rigotti. 

This January will mark the 19th year that SCLC has been in existence. During that time there has been substantial progress in reducing smoking prevalence in the United States, with resulting declines in death and disability from tobacco use. SCLC has been proud to have played a role in that progress. Yet there is much still to do. About half a million people die annually from tobacco-induced illnesses in the United States alone, and 34 million Americans still smoke. Under Dr. Rigotti’s leadership, SCLC will continue to work toward making tobacco use obsolete and thereby improving the health of the public.

Please join them in welcoming Dr. Rigotti and thanking Dr. Schroeder for his visionary leadership over the last two decades!
