Delaware Quitline Outreach

Connecting Communities with the Tools to Quit Tobacco & Nicotine

As part of our commitment to the health and well being of our clients, LCS is partnered with the Delaware Quitline. We connect communities and healthcare professionals with the resources and information to help quit smoking, vaping, and other forms of nicotine.

If you need help with your event, need an educational speaker, or just want to be able to talk more effectively with your patients about quitting, we're here to help!

The Delaware Quitline Outreach Team focuses on educating Delaware community members, organizations, corporations, schools, and community leaders of all ages about the dangers of tobacco and nicotine use and the FREE Delaware Quitline Resources.

Outreach services are free, available in all 3 Delaware Counties, and include the provision of free educational materials for you to display and share at your discretion.

Research shows that healthcare providers can have a significant influence on their patients’ decision to quit by asking about their use, advising them to quit, and referring them to their local Quitline.
