The presentation will discuss how integrating lawyers into the healthcare setting through medical legal partnerships (MLPs) addresses the social determinants of health. The session will provide an overview of the MLP’s innovations in screening, outreach, and training in response to the pandemic, racial inequity, technological advancements and the community’s needs. The target audience includes service providers, healthcare providers, attorneys, and community partners. Using the example of a successful MLP in a pediatric setting, participants will learn about the MLP model, best practices for implementing and sustaining an MLP and similar community partnerships, and common legal remedies that target and reduce adverse health outcomes in the client population.
