and prevention services. Quarterly meetings held the first Wednesday
of the month in March (5th), June (4th), September (3rd) and December

improve the reach and effectiveness of tobacco control outreach and prevention services.
• Coordinate smoking cessation programs in the community and through local worksite
wellness programs.

Program and the Stanislaus County Office of Education TUPE program.
