Detailed instructions to apply for loan repayment will come from the League of Community Health Centers in December, the Baker administration said Thursday.
Using money from the American Rescue Plan Act and the Opioid Recovery and Remediation Trust Fund, the administration has contracted with the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers to implement the loan repayment program meant to support and retain workers in the behavioral health and primary care fields.
"The pandemic has exacerbated workforce shortages across the health care and human services sector in both the public and private markets, placing significant stress on our health care providers, their staff and our Massachusetts residents seeking care," Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders said."Through this program, we are providing tangible support to sustain them in this high demand work."Sign up for NECN newsletters.
