MLP Network
Legal providers (attorneys and paralegals) and front-line health care providers (doctors, nurses and social workers) serving vulnerable communities are now partnered at over 200 hospitals and health centers nationwide. These partnerships serve children, the elderly, patients with cancer, pregnant women, the formerly incarcerated reentry community and other vulnerable populations.
The MLP Network is a voluntary affiliation that signals participation in a variety of activities. Over the last five years, these activities have varied including participation in annual conferences, MLP leadership and project-based initiatives, regional collaborations and resource sharing.
The National Center is currently working to formalize the MLP Network, including membership benefits and requirements. More information will be available in the fall 2010.

Through this partnership, the unmet legal or environmental needs of patients can be addressed before they reach crisis proportions. The AMA encourages physicians to develop medical-legal partnerships, and we will help them do this by creating a model agreement and working with key stakeholders on education.
