Sample MLP Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from a Florida Health Center

Description

Before delivering medical-legal partnership services, healthcare and legal team members discuss their goals for the program, the responsibilities of each partner, and how they will measure success. When healthcare organizations choose to contract legal services from a community-based legal services organization (rather than hire lawyers directly to their staff), the decisions partners make should be documented in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). An MOU is a renewable agreement entered into for a set period of time. Drafting an MOU helps formalize the decisions made and ensure that all participants acknowledge the parameters of the relationship. This resource is a sample MLP MOU from Grace Medical Home, Inc., a Florida-based community health center, and Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida, Inc. Other organizations can use it as an example to get started on their own MOU.
