Do you have a healthcare provider at your facility who is interested in loan repayment? Let them know that the Colorado Health Service Corps (CHSC) Loan Repayment Program spring 2013 application cycle will open March 1st, 2013.  The application cycle is open for one month, closing on March 31st, 2013.
