“School-Based Health Centers & Medical-Legal Partnerships: A Partnership for Social Equity in Children and Adolescents’ Health”

Hosted by the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership and the School-based Health Alliance

Integrating health services into a school-based setting ensures more equitable access to health care for children and adolescents. Yet many barriers to adequate and equitable child health are rooted in structural problems that health care alone cannot solve. School-based health center (SBHC) staff are increasingly working to identify and address these social determinants of health (SDOH). To truly meet the complex needs of these young patients, health care teams can benefit from legal expertise to help navigate problems that go well beyond the clinic’s door. Join us for this webinar to learn how your SBHC, through a medical-legal partnership (MLP), can provide patients with legal services for issues that directly affect their health, better organize your services and programs to address SDOH, and further increasing the efficacy of health interventions. Download the “School-based health and medical-legal partnerships” fact sheet.
