Mission Statement
The Health Law Lab advances health care system efforts to address social determinants of health and health related social needs, improve health equity, and mitigate health disparities. We work to realize a coordinated system of comprehensive care that recognizes the foundational role of social determinants of health in improving health outcomes, shaping individual and community experiences of health care, and reducing health care costs. The Health Law Lab explores, analyzes, and nurtures innovations that address social determinants of health, and examines the legal, regulatory, and policy implications of integrating these interventions into health care delivery and financing.
The Health Law Lab is a project of the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation of Harvard Law School (CHLPI) that strives to educate the next generation of health care law and policy thought leaders through hands-on work with our clients, partners, and community allies.
