During this webinar we discussed how the medical legal partnership model has evolved over time to become a robust adjunct in addressing social determinants of health. We also explored how medical legal partnerships may be further optimized to advance both direct client needs and address systematic issues at community and policy levels.
During this webinar we discussed:
- The relationship between social determinants of health and legal remedies
