MLP Network
Physicians, nurses, social workers, attorneys and paralegals are now partnered in more than 235 health institutions nationwide at 83 MLP sites. 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, including annual conferences, MLP leadership and project-based initiatives, regional collaborations and resource sharing.

These [medical-legal partnerships] address the causes of health challenges like malnutrition, homelessness, life-threatening asthma, or the choice between paying for food or medicine. Medical-legal partnership programs help people navigate complex systems that alter the social determinants of health. They secure income supports, get rid of mold in the rental apartment, and involve health care providers in the policy process to tackle patterns that affect many individuals.
