MLP Capitol Hill Day -- March 24, 2010
On March 24, 2010, medical-legal partnership teams representing 17 states met with nearly 70 members of Congress and staff on Capitol Hill to educate them about MLP and its positive impact on vulnerable populations across the country.
These photos are from the American Bar Association sponsored briefing, “Medical-Legal Partnerships: Impacting Patients, Transforming Medicine” where we heard from Representative Dan Maffei (NY-25), Wm. T Robinson III (2011-2012 ABA President), Barry Zuckerman (Founding Director, NCMLP), Andrew Wolk (President and CEO, Root Cause) and Ellen Lawton (Executive Director, NCMLP).
Just as the medical profession advocates preventive health care, so too by entering into these partnerships with health care providers, the legal profession can advance a 'preventive law' strategy for addressing clients’ social and economic problems and thereby improve clients’ health and well-being, especially those from low-income and other under-served communities.
