United Family Medicine Medical-Legal Partnership<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

The Health Law Clinic is made possible by a medical-legal partnership between Mitchell Hamline\u2019s Health Law Institute and United Family Medicine<\/a>, a community-based clinic providing comprehensive, patient-centered primary care to low-income and medically underserved residents in Saint Paul. Medical-legal partnerships are a growing national movement in which lawyers and medical providers collaborate as an integrated team to address the needs of low-income patients, whose unmet legal needs keep them from getting and staying healthy. Medical-legal partnerships also work at a systemic level to help health care providers develop strategies to improve the provision of health and legal services and advocate for legislative and policy changes that will remove legal barriers to improved public health. There are only 34 law schools participating in medical-legal partnerships nationwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
