REGISTER: Medical Legal Partnerships for Older Adults in Patient Care Wednesday, April 20, 2022: 1pm - 2pm EST  

 

New approaches to service delivery in the HUD-VASH program have created a knowledge gap that this program will address. Older adults have low legal literacy, inadequate access to affordable legal services and an array of unmet legal needs.  Health care providers of all disciplines also have limited knowledge of older adults’ legal needs and how they can lead to health problems.  This live webinar will provide participants with information about older adults’ legal needs, how they can impact their health and well-being, what a Medical Legal Partnership (MLP) is, how collaboration between a clinical program designed to support marginalized, frail older Veterans and a MLP works and how to establish such a collaboration.
