Whitman-Walker Health awards a 'Pro Bono Excellence' prize to a law firm. The health center celebrates forty years of free legal help.

The Washington-based center supports LGBTQ+ patients for four decades. It helps people with less money. Free legal help covers health, inheritance, and discrimination cases.

The award shows cooperation between lawyers and health organizations matters. Pro-bono work removes legal barriers for vulnerable groups. This helps them access necessary support.

Forty years marks an important milestone for this program. The health center says legal support is as important as medical care. Both help patients live better lives.
