"Corey and his family are now stable in their home — and can focus on improving Corey's health."

Corey, three years old, was struggling with severe asthma. While treating him, his pediatrician learned the family was facing eviction — and, trained to identify patients with legal problems, referred Corey's mother, Shakira, to the medical-legal partnership between the hospital and legal aid.
