The Center for Health Promotion Inc. delivers tobacco cessation and weight
management services to customers nationwide. As an operating unit of Group
Health Cooperative (Seattle) for almost 20 years, CHP developed the
telephone-based Free & Clear program and established itself a national leader
in tobacco cessation.
Today CHP continues to deliver tobacco cessation services through health
plans, businesses and labor organizations around the country. CHP also
provides phone-based tobacco cessation services to residents of Georgia,
Maine, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin through
contracts with state agencies or coalitions. The company is actively engaged
in research trials with major research centers including The Stanford Research
Institute in Menlo Park, Calif., the Center for Health Research in Portland,
Ore., and the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center and Group Health's Center
for Health Studies, both in Seattle. This active research is undertaken to
help improve CHP's services to smokers and increase scientific understanding
of this key health issue.
