Hofstra Law Forms Partnership with Northwell Health
Eitan Misulovin started his legal career in 2003, serving as a practicing attorney at the New York based law firm of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP. Eitan Misulovin holds a juris doctor and an MBA from Hofstra University, which recently announced a community partnership with Northwell Health.
The Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University is partnering with Northwell Health to create the Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP), which will offer legal assistance to people with social challenges that lead to poor health, including disabilities, immigration status and denial of insurance coverage. Law students will work under the supervision of an attorney to provide referrals and legal services to children and adults who cannot afford to pay.
Emphasizing education, the MLP will train attorneys and educate doctors on the numerous social factors that affect their patients’ health. With this grant-funded program, Hofstra law students will have the opportunity to address health care disparities by fighting social inequality in the community.
