Partnerships between health centers, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and civil legal services providers help to ensure that Veterans can access health care through “no wrong door.” This webinar improves the capacity of these partnerships to meet the holistic needs of Veterans by training medical-legal partnership staff of all backgrounds and skills sets on Veterans cultural competency. Speakers share current best practices for serving Veterans across settings and using the medical-legal partnership approach to address the health-harming legal needs of Veterans and their families.
