MLP: Transforming Healthcare and Law

Traditional healthcare and legal services treat vulnerable populations in isolation from each other. On both sides, people living in low-income communities often fall through the cracks. Many patients suffer from preventable illnesses, often exacerbated by social and environmental conditions that affect health. Many of these conditions, such as insufficient heat or inadequate nutrition, have legal remedies, but low-income communities do not have access to legal assistance.

MLP offers a solution to this problem by bridging the divide, offering patients and their families the comprehensive care they need. The graphic below compares the MLP model with prevailing models for legal assistance and healthcare in the U.S.
