Former Senator Tom Daschle praises our medical-legal partnership
Tom Daschle, former Senate Majority Leader now with DLA Piper, joined Children's Law Center to discuss the future of health care. As the Affordable Care Act goes into effect, he said he expects an increased focus on innovative, collaborative programs that produce better outcomes - and he noted that Healthy Together, our medical-legal partnership, undeniably has those qualities. "One of the exciting things I find about Children's Law Center - they didn't need the Affordable Care Act to come up with an idea that has already begun to produce extraordinary better outcomes... a partnership between medical and legal experts - creating better health by creating a better health environment," Daschle said.Healthy Together has proved to be so effective and demand for our services so high that Children's Law Center is expanding the program to serve hundreds more of DC's vulnerable children. The May 7 event with Daschle, hosted by Arnold & Porter LLP, launched this expansion campaign.
