During the event, dozens of leaders from the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, Stetson University Veterans Law Institute<\/u><\/a>, Bay Area Legal Services<\/u><\/a>, and Gulf Coast Legal Services<\/u><\/a> gathered to recognize the start of the new Medical-Legal Partnership program \u2013 an achievement many months in the making.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s celebration at the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System of our Medical-Legal Partnership represents an amazing start to the services Veterans and their families will receive here from our law partners and Stetson University,\u201d said Suzanne M. Klinker, Director, Bay Pines VAHCS.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The program] is a terrific collaboration with our community in service to America\u2019s heroes, and it makes a big difference for them and for us in helping them support their health outcomes and reach their goals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

MLP is a new program available at the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center designed specifically for Veterans enrolled for care in our healthcare system who are in need of legal representation and\/or consultation for non-criminal offenses, who may not otherwise be able to afford legal representation.<\/p>\n

Services available to Veterans through the new program range from Veterans benefits and Social Security Disability, to family law, guardianship, landlord-tenant disputes and elder law.<\/p>\n

The service is available to Veterans every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center, building 100, room 1E-241.<\/p>\n
