Acknowledging your Referral Partners at the Holidays

The holidays provide an excellent opportunity to recognize your referral sources while distinguishing your agency as a dedicated health care partner.

 Some Holiday Appreciation Ideas:

  • Stand out by giving holiday cards to reinforce the value of your professional partnership. Make sure to sign it by hand -- extra points for having your entire leadership team sign it.

  • Make a charitable donation to a group that supports a relevant health care issue (American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, etc.) and let your referral sources know that in lieu of gifts, your company has chosen to support the worthy charitable cause.

  • Organize an evening of caroling at local hospitals and skilled nursing facilities with your staff and some willing referral partners. The greatest gift is always giving of yourself.

  • Deliver holiday treats and small swag gifts to the offices of referring physicians.

Since the gifts given can't reflect the volume of referrals provided, the best solution is to give the same gifts to everyone. If you keep the guidelines in mind when you are holiday planning, you can stay compliant and still show your appreciation for the excellent working relationships you've developed.
