The Crozer Health Student Loan Forgiveness Program is meant for nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists, according to a Dec. 15 news release from the system.
Currently, the program is available for full-time employees, but will extend to benefit-eligible part-time employees Jan. 1. So far, 50 employees have applied for student loan forgiveness at the system, according to the release.
“We are glad to be able to help alleviate the heavy student loan burden that so many of our nurses and therapists carry,” CEO Peter Adamo said. “Over time, in response to patient needs, we may expand this program to include additional disciplines.”
