Welcome to Community Legal Aid's Medical-Legal Partnership in Partnership with UMass Memorial Health:

Advocacy for a Healthy Community

 

---

 

According to the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership, there are currently 50,000,000 Americans who face health-harming legal needs which disproportionately affect low-income families, children, the elderly, and people of color. 

 

Community Legal Aid and UMass Memorial Health have joined to improve the health of low-income families in Central Massachusetts by tackling these unmet health-harming legal needs faced by the system’s most vulnerable patients.  Your pro bono assistance will enable these families to gain access to stable and affordable housing, education, public benefits, affordable health coverage, and guardianships. Thank you for joining us in our efforts to provide low-income individuals access to justice.  We are pleased to welcome you to this Medical-Legal Partnership project and look forward to working with you.

 

Yours in Service,
The Medical-Legal Partnership Team
