Website Construction (CMS-Based)

Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
What we have in place
  • We have a staff who is dedicated and devoted to this project and who believe in the need for our online presence to reflect the caliber and breadth of work that we do.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to continue to publish legal guides for low income veterans and help connect cancer patients throughout the country to local legal organizations.

This project will help us grow by ensuring that clients, practitioners, and others in the community understand our services as well as how the landscape in healthcare is evolving and changing. Furthermore, it will continue to raise awareness and continue the conversations on the importance of looking at social determinants of health. We want our internet presence to reflect our prominent position in the MLP community and function as an informative tool for those developing, participating, or relying on MLPs.

Our mission

LegalHealth partners with medical professionals to address the non-medical needs of low-income people with serious health problems. LegalHealth complements health care with legal care – providing free legal services in medical facilities and training healthcare professionals to understand the legal issues their patients face. LegalHealth extends its mission nationally by providing technical assistance to bring medical and legal partners together.

Since 2001, LegalHealth’s dedicated staff has improved the lives of over 26,000 low-income New Yorkers with serious health needs. Where social conditions pose a barrier to improved health, the LegalHealth team can advocate to ensure a patient’s right to access care, basic benefits, stable housing and immigration remedies.

LegalHealth’s training of health care providers at its partner hospitals raises awareness among the health care professionals to the non-medical barriers to improved patient health and they become actively involved in referring and advocating for their patients.
