The Colorado Health Foundation's Physician Loan Repayment Program
About TCHF-PLRP
The Colorado Health Foundation’s Physician Loan Repayment Program, developed with Colorado Community Health Network (CCHN) and the Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC), provides an incentive for physicians to practice in certain rural and urban underserved sites across Colorado.  The Physician Loan Repayment Program provides up to $50,000/year for three years for use in repaying the physician’s educational loans.  So, the total award is up to $150,000. In exchange for these award monies, the physician must agree to practice at a qualified rural or urban underserved Colorado site for three years.

The Colorado Health Foundation (formerly HealthONE Alliance) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization devoted to improving health and health care in Colorado.  Its assets total $800 million, including an investment portfolio as well as an ownership interest in Denver’s HealthONE hospital system.  These assets serve the community through grants, medical education programs, health policy initiatives and direct care programs serving older adults, families, mothers and infants.
