Welcome to Colorado Provider Recruitment and Retention (CPR)
We are committed to connecting you with a community whose unique character best suits your personal and professional needs.
CPR For Providers
The Colorado Provider Recruitment and Retention Program is designed to attract and retain healthcare professionals to practice in underserved areas across Colorado. The program aims to address shortages in primary care, including medical, oral and mental health, and other critical specialties by offering a range of incentives and support for providers.
Key components of the program include:
Financial Incentives
Our rural clinics and hospitals often provide loan repayment assistance, competitive salaries, and signing bonuses to make positions more attractive to prospective providers.
Relocation Support
To ease the transition to new communities, clinics and hospitals may offer relocation assistance, including moving expenses and temporary housing options.
Professional Development
Providers may have access to continuing education opportunities, mentorship programs, and networking events to enhance their skills and career growth.
Community Integration
The program helps providers integrate into their new communities by offering resources and support for community engagement and work-life balance.
Collaborative Partnerships
The program often collaborates with local healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and government agencies to streamline recruitment efforts and address specific local needs.
