Partnerships Within an MLP: Putting the Pieces Together

Thursday September 3, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm CDT

Conference Room 301

The Houston Volunteer Lawyers/AccessHealth Medical-Legal Partnership demonstrates that effective healthcare and legal aid solutions emerge through collaboration. Beyond embedding legal services in clinical settings, this MLP has built strategic partnerships with community-based organizations, advocacy groups, businesses, government leaders, and local attorneys, including founding a pro bono legal network in Fort Bend County. These partnerships create a comprehensive safety net and expand capacity to serve patients through direct pro bono legal representation. This breakout session examines how partnerships strengthen MLPs by reviewing current research on inter-organizational collaboration, sharing examples of successful partnership models, and guiding attendees through an interactive exercise to apply these strategies to their own programs and communities.
