New York Legal Assistance Group
Physician-Based Advocacy Training to Improve Care for the Chronically Ill
NYLAG's LegalHealth Project is a successful model of collaborative, holistic support which offers individuals with chronic and life-threatening illness an opportunity to access desperately needed legal assistance as they interface with the medical system. LegalHealth’s program includes conducting monthly training sessions for physicians and social workers at its partnering hospitals. LegalHealth hopes to refine and improve the method in which it educates physicians and continue to effect cultural change within the institutionalized health care setting, with the expectation that educating healthcare professionals has a positive change in the health care culture and delivery of holistic services to individuals with chronic and serious illness, their caregivers, and systems that these individuals must encounter as they face convalescence. |
