Loan Repayment Directly Benefitting Colorado’s Safety Net

Congratulations to the 26 recipients of the Kaiser Permanente Educational Loan Department for Safety Net Clinical Support Staff Program! CCHN received funding from Kaiser Permanente Community Health Fund to build upon workforce and clinical quality efforts over the next three years. CCHN developed the Kaiser Permanente Educational Loan Repayment for Safety Net Clinical Support Staff Program in partnership with Colorado CHCs, Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC) and ClinicNET. In January 2014, CCHN, CRHC and ClinicNET kicked off the first loan repayment cycle of the grant period. Two additional loan repayment application cycles will occur in January 2015 and January 2016. Learn more about loan repayment here.

During the first round of loan repayment, there was an outpouring of applications from the safety net organizations, receiving 113 eligible applications! The three organizations convened as part of the review committee and collectively determined the 26 award recipients who received $174,600 in loan repayment funds to pay off their education debt.” [Source: CCHN]
