Last year, the Health Law Section was thrilled to work with the Carolina Health Law Organization (CHLO) at the UNC School of Law in expanding the Section’s Access to Affordable Care Project to the Triangle area. This work will help so many people in need of medical care—care that is too often out of reach. The students have done an amazing job and we are incredibly proud of their work.

Thank you to the members of CHLO, along with Professor Richard Saver, Arch T. Allen Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina School of Law. We also greatly appreciate the North Carolina Society of Healthcare Attorneys in its generous grant funding for this project.

The students have compiled a great resource that is now in print, both Spanish and English, and online for easy access: https://go.unc.edu/CHLO19. The students are also working to distribute booklets to sites across Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh (i.e. community centers, libraries, homeless shelters, women’s centers, clinics, rape crises centers, social service nonprofits, etc.) to reach their target communities. Additional booklets are available upon request.

This article explains more about the associated grant award and project, and also links to the resource online:
