WHAT IS A MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP
Reinforcing the Commitment to Health Equity
A Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) is the integration of medical and legal professionals who work together to improve patient health by addressing the systemic legal barriers negatively affecting a person's health and well-being. In a Medical-Legal Partnership, medical, legal, and social service professionals are devoted to pursuing every possible angle to resolve the various health needs of patients.
