Health Care and Service Provider Collaboration Checklist

Developed by Switchboard in partnership with the Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers, this checklist offers a structured framework for strengthening collaboration between refugee-serving agencies and healthcare organizations. The resource covers partnership planning, referral processes, communication protocols, confidentiality and data-sharing practices, cross-training opportunities, resource coordination, and ongoing evaluation of collaborative efforts. Designed as a practical planning and implementation tool, it helps organizations create stronger referral pathways, improve care coordination, and expand healthcare access for refugees and other newcomer populations.
