Medical-Legal Partnership—Richmond (MLP-R) is an innovative community partnership between VCU Health System, CancerLINC, Central Virginia Legal Aid Society, the Legal Aid Justice Center, and volunteer attorneys. MLP-R was created to improve health outcomes for low‐income patients by embedding lawyers in the healthcare clinic to address social determinants of health rooted in legal problems.
“We are very grateful to the Virginia Law Foundation for helping us make this giant leap forward in terms of sustainability and being able to demonstrate the impact of legal intervention,” said Allison Held of Medical Legal Partnership VCU Health in Richmond.
