The donation, from Black Family Philanthropies, is one of the largest gifts of its kind that the city's public health system has received. 80%, or $4 million of the donation, will support the BH4NYC Loan Repayment Program, which provides debt relief for providers, nurses, social workers and other staff in exchange for a 3-year commitment to the health system.
Over the next two years, more than 120 behavioral health providers at NYC Health + Hospitals will receive up to $75,000 in student debt relief. The additional $1 million in funding will be used for staff retention through career advancement and workplace safety initiatives.
