The National Health Law Program advocates, educates and litigates at the federal and state levels. Our offices (in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Carrboro, N.C.) manage a broad array of national, state, and local advocacy efforts, ranging from complex analyses of federal and state laws, policy advocacy, litigation, training, and individual technical support. We work with lawyers and advocates, community-based entities, federal and state policymakers, health care providers, and clients to address the needs of underserved people.

 

The National Health Law Program is committed to creating health equity -ensuring that everyone has access to the all resources they need to be healthy – and to cultivating an internal environment that empowers an exceptional and diverse staff.
