Please join the American Lung Association on Wednesday, July 27^th at 2pm ET for a new webcast, Using Pharmacist to Improve Access to Tobacco Cessation Treatment for Medicaid Enrollees. This webcast will highlight how the Vermont Tobacco Control Program worked with state partners, including the state Medicaid program to improve the reach of the Medicaid tobacco cessation benefit by adding pharmacists as recognized providers. During the webcast we will hear from Vermont on how they achieved this success as well as information on how adding care extenders as recognized providers can extend the reach of a comprehensive tobacco cessation benefit in a state Medicaid program.
