Philadelphia Refugee Health Collaborative
Abstract
The Philadelphia Refugee Health Collaborative was established in 2008, under the leadership of Nationalities Service Center (NSC), to create an equitable system of refugee health care in the Philadelphia region. Consisting of eight refugee health clinics and the three local refugee resettlement agencies, the Collaborative has made significant progress towards that goal. The Collaborative model is a unique model of care for refugees in the US. Key components of the model include close partnerships between resettlement agencies and medical providers, location within large university health systems and coordination between resettlement agencies. Since its inception, the Collaborative has increased its capacity for refugee screenings by over 220% (from 250 screenings annually to 800 screenings annually).
