Student Loan Repayment Program for Mental Health Professionals

We have exciting news for our providers with certain types of job responsibilities and degrees who have outstanding student loans! Colorado offers two loan repayment programs for eligible healthcare providers for which AspenPointe is eligible.

National Health Services Corps (NHSC)
Federal loan repayment program administered by Health Resources and Services Administration through the US Dept. of Health and Human Services.
Colorado Health Services Corps (CHSC)
State loan repayment program administered by Colorado’s Primary Care Office.

In order for a company’s employees to be eligible, the organization must meet the program requirements. We have met those organization requirements for both of the programs – the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) program and qualify as a Health Professional Shortage Area for mental health. The HPSA score for our facilities in El Paso, Park and Tellers counties is 16 and that means we are in the top tier for application consideration.

If you wish to apply to the NHSC program, please call 1-800-221-9393 or visit www.nhsc.hrsa.gov

Since 1875...

AspenPointe has empowered clients, enriched lives and embraced purpose through behavioral health services, counseling services, career services, substance abuse treatment, employment, education, housing, jail diversion/reintegration and care management.

One of the largest nonprofits in Colorado Springs, AspenPointe traces its roots back to 1875 when we were called the Springs Relief Society. That organization, which delivered coal, lumber and clothing to the needy, was the genesis of what today is a comprehensive and integrated system of care that addresses the overall wellness of each client whether they need behavioral health services, counseling services or career services.

We have 12 organizations that serve more than 30,000 individuals and families each year through behavioral health services, counseling services, career services, education, housing, jail diversion/reintegration, telephonic wellness and care management.

We collaborate with clergy, educators, employers, other health and human service agencies, the legal/criminal justice system, other behavioral health providers, insurers, and many other organizations to leverage our collective resources in order to better our communities and the lives of its residents.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded largely by Medicaid, state and federal grants, local government contracts, and generous donations.
