San Francisco Community Health Center’s LGBTQ+ Tobacco Control Program aims to reduce tobacco-related health disparities among the LGBTQ+ community through community health education, community organizing, and advocacy for tobacco-free policies in the San Francisco Bay Area. Components of this program include supporting local San Francisco Bay Area tobacco-control policies, working with local community colleges, development of LGBTQ+ specific tobacco health education materials, and community outreach/engagement.

  • SFCHC TCP Staff is excited to organize a Midwest Academy Strategy Chart Session in collaboration with the American Lung Association and Santa Clara County Smoke-Free Communities on Thursday, 3/7/2019 from 10-2pm at The LGBTQ Youth Space in Downtown San Jose. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together stakeholders and constituents from the LGBTQ+ community and Santa Clara County at-large to strategize on how to pass a city-wide policy banning flavored tobacco products in San Jose.

  • The SFCHC TCP Program is actively recruiting members for the Bay Area LGBTQ+ Tobacco Policy Coalition. Coalition membership is open to professionals living in the Bay Area and who identify as LGBTQ+ with a vested interest in tobacco control and prevention.
