Nurses Forming Legal Partnerships To Meet The Needs Of The Underserved In Rural America, Patricia M. Vanhook, Trish Aniol, John Orzechowski, Grace Titilayo Babalola

ETSU Faculty Works

The impetus for the recognition of the need for legal partners in healthcare came from Boston City Hospital in 1993. The hospital provided care to the largest uninsured and underinsured population in the New England states. The pediatric patients were noted by Dr. Barry Zuckerman to have difficulty in recovering from medical illnesses. He linked their inability to improve their health to poor housing, food insecurity, and basic social determinants of health. His hiring of a part-time lawyer led to a national movement for the development of medical-legal partnerships. The American Bar Association, the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnerships at …

(1) concluded that cystic fibrosis (CF) in children and adolescents with a high baseline forced expiratory volume (FEV₁) were less likely to have a therapeutic intervention or slower rate of FEV₁ decline after a single acute decline in FEV₁ of 10%.

Effect Size Of Testimonials On Treatment Choice In Ptsd, Brandon M. Smith, L. Lee Glenn

ETSU Faculty Works

This conclusion is not warranted by the findings of the study because of limitations to both internal and external validity.
