With so many great legal service organizations in Minnesota, we want to share more about the daily work each of us are doing that you may not know about. Our next featured organization is Cancer Legal Care. We'll talk about their staff, mission, and the heart of their work engaging the law to resolve the complex challenges facing people affected by cancer. Learn about the primary legal issues they deal with, including financial matters, insurance issues, and the other concerns that can interfere with healing when people are dealing with cancer. Find out how they are using volunteers, where they've seen growth and change, and how medical-legal partnership is helping clients. Hopefully you will come away inspired by the work of colleagues in the justice community and with new ideas for engaging, serving, and referring clients. 

Presenters:

 Lindy Yokanovich, Founder and Executive Director, Cancer Legal Care

 Julie Olmsted, Senior Staff Attorney, Cancer Legal Care
