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: The second part of the toolkit-inspired webinar series focused on the different types of funding, components of MoUs, and sustainability. Bethany Hamilton, Co-Director at the NCMLP began the webinar by giving a brief recap of the first part and providing an overview of the topics from the toolkit. It was followed by teams from Indiana and Montana presenting related strategies employed by medical-legal partnerships.
