MLP in Action Webinar Series: Understanding and Addressing the Health-Related Legal Needs of Older Adults and their Families
All of us experience health-related legal needs as we age, but the nature and urgency of those needs are particularly acute for vulnerable populations of older adults. On March 26 and April 24, 2025, NCMLP will host two webinars featuring presentations by subject matter experts that aim to equip healthcare providers and MLP teams with: 1) information about the health-related legal needs of older adults and their families, and 2) actionable strategies for improving access to care and outcomes by identifying and addressing these unique needs. More information about each part of the webinar series appears below. Join us by registering for each webinar and help us spread the word about these free training opportunities.
