Partnership News
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.
