The Philadelphia Refugee Health Collaborative: Creating a Sustainable Refugee Health Care System
Abstract
SummaryThe Philadelphia Refugee Health Collaborative’s core goal is to create an equitable system of refugee health care in the Philadelphia region that ensures a consistently high standard of care for all newly arrived refugees. The Collaborative is a partnership between Philadelphia’s three refugee resettlement agencies, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society Pennsylvania , Lutheran Children and Family Service and Nationalities Service Center, and their affiliated refugee health clinics, Jefferson Family Medicine Associates, Fairmount Primary Care Center, Nemours Pediatrics, Drexel Women’s Care Center, Penn Center for Primary Care and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
At United Way’s second annual Strategic Partnership Conference: Creating Innovation and Impact Through Partnership, the Philadelphia Refugee Health Collaborative was awarded a prize of $15,000 for their proposal to build a refugee health care system in the Philadelphia region.
