The National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership promotes the advancement of medical-legal partnership to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable populations by transforming health and legal systems.

What is medical-legal partnership?

Medical-legal partnership aims to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable individuals, children and families by integrating legal assistance into the medical setting. Medical-legal partnerships seek to address the negative impact of social determinants on health and eliminate barriers to healthcare in order to help people meet their basic needs and stay healthy.
