The State Loan Repayment Program helps HRSA provide grant funding for states and territories to operate their own loan repayment programs. Through SLRP each state and territory can design programs that address the most pressing health care needs of their residents. Primary medical, mental/behavioral, and dental clinicians who receive awards through SLRP-funded programs pay off their student debt in exchange for working in areas with provider shortages.

HRSA programs provide equitable health care to people who are geographically isolated and economically or medically vulnerable. This includes programs that deliver health services to people with HIV, pregnant people, mothers and their families, those with low incomes, residents of rural areas, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and those otherwise unable to access high-quality health care. HRSA programs also support health infrastructure, including through training of health professionals and distributing them to areas where they are needed most, providing financial support to health care providers, and advancing telehealth.
