On June 14, 2008, Pamela Santos, an Academic Detailer from the American Cancer Society, gave a presentation during the June General Membership meeting about tobacco cessation and Queens Quits.

Since 2005, Queens Quits - one of the New York State Department of Health Tobacco Control Program Cessation Networks - has been organizing provider education about cessation treatment.

Queens Quits is a partnership between the Queens Health Network (QHN), which includes Queens Hospital Center (QHC) and Elmhurst Hospital Center (EHC), the American Cancer Society and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Throughout the year, Training Leaders at each hospital hold meetings to educate doctors about different treatments.

On May 31, 2008, Kalusugan Coalition co-sponsored a spring health fair with the Women’s Workers Project and CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities. The screening was held at the Women’s Workers Project/Kalayaan Office in Woodside, NY. A multitude of services were offered including a spinal health workshop, appointments for breast/cervical cancer screening, HIV testing and counseling, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose checks, health education,
and information about health insurance and referrals to health services. 

KC would like to extend a special “thank you” to our partners and colleagues for giving their time and resources, Philippine Nurses Association of New York, NYCAACN, APICHA, Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, Neri Chiropractic, and the NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health.
