At LegalMed180, this challenge is the driving force behind their mission to connect legal and healthcare experts, ensuring individuals receive the comprehensive support they need.
Partnering with TeleWellness Hub, LegalMed180 is proud to support the Walk Them Home campaign, a trauma-informed initiative designed to connect those who serve with trusted wellness providers and legal advocates.
What is LegalMed180?
LegalMed180 is a unique platform that bridges the worlds of law and healthcare by connecting trial attorneys, healthcare professionals, and expert consultants. Founded by CEO Leigh Anne Levy, the organization was created to address a critical gap: the lack of collaboration and understanding between medical providers and the legal system when individuals face injury or disability.
Leigh Anne’s deep background in trauma nursing and life care planning exposed her to the complexities injured patients experience when navigating both healthcare and legal systems. Her passion to improve this landscape led to the creation of LegalMed180, a hub for expert collaboration and education.
Leigh Anne Levy: A Life Dedicated to Healing and Advocacy
Leigh Anne Levy’s passion for healthcare began at a young age. She recalls, “Ever since I was a little girl, I would triage my stuffed animals – Kermit had a broken flipper, Snoopy had a problem with his nose because I could never stand to see suffering without trying to stop it.” This early compassion propelled her into a lifelong career in nursing and disability care.
With over 35 years of experience, Leigh Anne has specialized in trauma nursing, catastrophic injuries, and life care planning. Crafting detailed plans that outline the long-term medical and wellness needs of those facing serious injuries or chronic conditions. She explains, “People who are disabled often think of themselves as half of what others are, but they’re actually twice as strong. Everything is harder for them, and they work incredibly hard every day.”
Through her work, Leigh Anne saw a significant gap: injured individuals, legal teams, and healthcare providers often struggled to communicate effectively, complicating access to care and justice. This realization inspired her to found LegalMed180, a platform dedicated to bridging these worlds with expertise and empathy.
Why Bridging Law and Healthcare Matters
When trauma strikes, navigating the legal and healthcare systems simultaneously is daunting. Trial attorneys rely on healthcare and wellness providers to build strong cases that reflect the true needs of their clients. Meanwhile, medical professionals depend on clear communication from legal representatives to ensure their patients receive appropriate resources.
For veterans, first responders, and military families, who may face unique physical and mental health challenges, this connection is crucial. Conditions such as PTSD, physical disabilities, and chronic illnesses demand coordinated care and legal advocacy to protect benefits and access to treatment.
Without this bridge, many face fragmented support, risking inadequate care and legal outcomes.

The combined efforts of LegalMed180 and TeleWellness Hub go beyond legal advice or medical appointments, they create a safety net that empowers individuals to reclaim their lives.
Leigh Anne reflects on this impact: “My heart hurts when I meet people who aren’t in a good space, but I always ask, ‘Can it be better?’ With the right team – trial attorneys, healthcare providers, wellness specialists it can.”
For veterans and first responders, this means not only expert legal representation but also access to mental health services and wellness programs tailored to their unique stressors and sacrifices.
