Governor Polis Announces Healthcare Workers Recruitment and Re-Engagement Fund

November 30, 2022

Healthcare Workers Recruitment and Re-Engagement Fund

The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) seeks applications for the Healthcare Workers Recruitment and Re-engagement Fund. This new program is part of the Polis Administration's plan Colorado's Roadmap to Moving Forward and was passed into law during the 2022 legislative session. The program will incentivize and assist employers in the recruitment of different licensed health care professionals to employment in long-term care facilities (LTCF), qualifying facilities with critical shortages and pediatric-serving hospitals.

In this program, organizations that successfully recruit a licensed professional who has left the health care industry and who will work 20 hours per week or more on average for a minimum of six months are eligible to receive a one-time payment of $20,000 per professional re-engaged. Organizations that may apply for funding must be licensed in Colorado.

 The three types of health care organizations that may apply for this program are organizations that: 

  1. Operate as a long-term care facility, meaning it is a nursing home, nursing facility, skilled nursing facility, intermediate care facility, or a health facility that is planned, organized, operated, and maintained to provide supportive, restorative, and preventative services to persons who, due to physical and/or mental disability, require continuous or regular inpatient care.
  2. Hold an official federal designation as a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) may also apply.
  3. Hospitals that serve the pediatric population. 

For more information, see the Healthcare Workers Recruitment and Re-engagement Fund webpage.
