NCLSN

The National Cancer Legal Services Network (NCLSN) was established by LegalHealth, a division of the New York Legal Assistance Group in 2009. NCLSN promotes access to healthcare and seeks to increase the availability of legal services on behalf of low-income individuals living with cancer, their families, and caregivers. Through direct work, educational efforts and advocacy, this multidisciplinary coalition helps to alleviate the legal and economic consequences of cancer so that those affected may focus on their medical care and quality of life. NCLSN is a unified voice with over 40 member organizations nationally, including medical-legal partnerships, non-profit legal aid organizations, private law firms, bar associations, cancer support and advocacy organizations, and patient navigator programs. Not only does NCLSN work to increase the availability of free legal services to people with cancer, but its members also advocate for low-income cancer patients at the national level.....
