CHC Provider Loan Repayment Program
The Community Health Center Primary Care Provider Loan Repayment Program is managed by the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers and is funded by donations from Bank of America, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Neighborhood Health Plan, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation of Massachusetts and Partners HealthCare. The program offers medical and nursing school loan repayment to primary care physicians and nurse practitioners who make a two-to-three year commitment to practice at one of the state's 52 community health centers.
