The Fontana Tobacco Education Center at UCSF Medical Center offers classes as well as individual consultations with doctors trained in treating tobacco addiction. We help smokers maximize the likelihood of success in their efforts to quit.
The center was named in memory of Jeanne Fontana who was grateful to the center for helping her overcome her addiction to cigarettes. She named the UCSF Tobacco Education Center one of the beneficiaries of her trust and her $2.3 million gift was used to establish two smoking cessation funds in her name. One is being used for current program support and the other is being used to establish an endowment for future program support.
The center's services include:
All classes are located in conference rooms at the Medical Center's Mount Zion campus.
