Healthcare and Public Benefits Organizations

Organizations whose own description of their work names healthcare and public benefits. The subject comes from what each organization has published about itself, not from a category anyone assigned to it.

Clear

Showing 1–24 of 28 organizations.

What all 172 organizations say they work on

Bar length is relative to the largest subject, 40 organizations; the hairline marks half. Subjects come from each organization's own published description; an organization that has not described its work is in none of these.

Published placements at these organizations, by year

  2. 1 2024
  3. 3 2026

Every placement LAAC has published at these organizations, summer and post-graduate: 6 in all. 3 of the 28 that name healthcare and public benefits have taken someone before the bar. A year with no mark is a year LAAC published no placement at any of them.
