Conferences

Each year, the National Center hosts a national conference that brings together more than 300 members of the MLP Network and partner organizations, including practicing and academic physicians, nurses, social workers, attorneys, paralegals, government officials and public health leaders. The MLP Summit, as it is known, is an opportunity for those interested in learning about MLP and those engaged in MLP programs to share ideas, insights and best practices.

2012 MLP Summit

The 7th annual MLP Summit, "Medical-Legal Partnership: Innovative Solutions for a Healthier Community" will be held March 26-27, 2012 at the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, TX.

Join MLP teams, policymakers and leaders in medicine, nursing, social work, law and public health as we explore themes including quality of care, transforming healthcare and legal practices, and new innovations in MLP. This year, we will place a particular focus on MLPs as community-based organizations, highlighting strategies for leveraging existing resources to build capacity and promote long-term, sustainable programs.
