Laurie has been working hard to help people quit smoking for about four years. Before coming to UW-CTRI, she had diverse experiences that included working with tribal members, managing care for people with developmental disabilities and working as a regional planner and program consultant for a program serving elderly people.

Laurie collaborates with health systems, clinics and local coalitions to make tobacco treatment a standard part of health care in north-central Wisconsin. She has spear-headed the distribution of free nicotine patches to low-income smokers and has partnered with health insurers to expand coverage of medications that help smokers quit. She also provides training to students and professionals in the dental hygene profession.
