The National Latino Council on Alcohol and Tobacco Prevention Receives Funding To Support National Tobacco Control Program

“The National Latino Council on Alcohol and Tobacco Prevention (LCAT) is pleased to announce that it has received a two-year $580,000 grant award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office on Smoking and Health (CDC/OSH) . The renewal funding from CDC/OSH will support LCAT’s National Hispanic/Latino Tobacco Prevention and Control Network (NHLTPCN) , which aims to eliminate tobacco use and improve the health of the Latino community.

“We are thrilled,” said Marilyn Aguirre Molina, chair of the LCAT board of directors. “This money sustains and validates our deep commitment to the Latino community. The contribution of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the field of tobacco prevention and control is critically important. Without CDC’s support and vision, the health disparities experienced by our community would be far more exacerbated.””
