Volunteer Joins Legal Helpline Staff
In March attorney Erin Campbell began volunteering on Pro Seniors’ Legal Helpline, knowing she wanted to expand her practical experience of the Medicaid questions that are facing low-income seniors.
 
“The legal issues facing seniors can be terribly complex and hard to understand,” Erin says. “We help people understand their rights, and give them concrete ways to address their problem or find other appropriate resources.” Read how joining the Legal Helpline as a part-time employee in August was a natural transition for Erin.
