The National Nurse-led Care Consortium hosts this webinar highlighting the recently formed medical-legal partnership in East Tennessee. This session will focus on developing a Medical Legal Partnership (MLP) practice in a rural setting, where the distance between legal and health partners is up to five hours, and the availability of services for low-income patients is scarce. Using tele-technology to communicate between partners, and elevating the combined health and legal priority of children’s healthcare insurance access and optimization, the East Tennessee MLP has tackled some of the common challenges of rural MLPs, and brought new solutions to rural MLP practice.
