Resource Summary: The National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership is launching a 5-part Webinar Series to disseminate the Health Center Guide toolkit that provides the health center community with information and resources to start, strengthen, and sustain a medical-legal partnership. The toolkit will help health centers to 1) have the important conversations to plan for a MLP’s long term success; 2) understand the specifics on developing screening, referral, and service delivery workflows for a MLP; 3) to look at how integrating legal services can support health center workforce development; and 4) move upstream to address social determinants of health and health equity at a policy level.
Resource Details: In this session, we heard from a panel of leading national experts on MLP implementation and research discuss bold and innovative policy-driven initiatives to help close the justice gap and increase health equity. Panelists Ann C. Mangiameli, Keegan Warren-Clem, Rebecca L. Sandefur, and James Teufel highlighted the existing problems related to health equity then offered innovative and emerging solutions driven by policy and regulatory initiatives. A brief Q&A followed by a panel discussion wrapped up the session.
