Tomorrow, Saturday, May 31, is World No Tobacco Day. It was created in 1987 by the World Health Organization to inform the public on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies, and what the WHO is doing to curb tobacco use. If you're ready to quit, we're ready to help. Our smoking cessation group, Last Drag, follows the American Lung Association's Freedom from Smoking guidelines, operates throughout the year, and is always taking referrals.

Welcome to Maria Daniels, LCSW-C, CCTP, RPS, our newest staff therapist at Easton Center. Maria says: "I'm inspired by Chase Brexton’s long-standing commitment to serving the LGBTQ+ community and individuals living with HIV, populations that often face barriers to equitable and affirming care. As a clinical social worker with experience in trauma-informed care and advocacy, I’m passionate about creating safe, inclusive spaces where all patients feel seen and supported. "I believe I can serve patients by helping them navigate complex emotional, social, and medical challenges with empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based interventions. My goal is to walk alongside each individual in their journey toward healing and empowerment." (fb)
