The Medical-Legal Partnership provides an opportunity for medical providers to refer patients for legal assessment in situations where a non-medical obstacle is impairing the overall health of a family.

Referrals sent through the Medical-Legal Partnership are private and confidential. A referral does not create an attorney-client relationship between the legal team and the person referred. Information on this website is for education purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice.
