New York is the First State to Endorse Medical-Legal Partnership

Policy
Written By NCMLP

This week, the state of New York amended its Public Health Law (PHL), section 22 to allow legal entities to register with the Department of Health as “health-related legal services programs.” This is a first-of-its-kind bill recognizing medical-legal partnership as an important health intervention. The bill was worked on by the NY Coalition of MLPs and LegalHealth at the New York Legal Assistance Group. Read the standards and registration form on the New York State Department of Health’s website.
