Our Model & Mission

The mission of the Pennsylvania Health Law Project (PHLP) is protecting and advancing health care rights through free legal services, community education, and systemic advocacy.

PHLP is the only legal aid group in Pennsylvania dedicated to protecting and advancing health care rights. For the past 30 years, PHLP has provided legal counseling and representation to tens of thousands of individuals from across the state, helping them get and keep health care coverage and services. Taking what is learned from individual cases, PHLP advocates for large-scale policy changes that help others across the state, and engages in community education that builds capacity among healthcare consumers, providers, and other advocates.
