Impact

Medical-legal partnerships have a profound impact on the lives of patient-families, and the reach of the MLP Network grows every year.   In 2010, partnerships provided legal assistance to more than 34,000 individuals and families. 

In addition to its focus on individual patient-client service, MLPs advocate for systemic change, pushing to promote legislation and public agency policy that favors the health and well-being of individuals and families. 

As medical-legal partnerships train doctors to screen for the social determinants of health and encourage lawyers to practice preventive law, these innovative programs are simultaneously transforming how healthcare is delivered and the legal service delivery model for vulnerable individuals and families. 

As the model evolves and the MLP Network expands to serve more people, we continue to measure the impact of the medical-legal partnership model on increasing access to legal services and improving health and well-being.
