During a visit to Harlem Hospital Sunday, Mayor Eric Adams announced a new loan forgiveness initiative for healthcare workers who focus on healing those suffering from mental health issues.
Adams joined NYC Health + Hospitals President and CEO Mitchell Katz on July 24 in gushing over an anonymous donor who gifted the city $1 million to reward first responders by forgiving their student loan debt. Since their education came with a hefty price tag of working in their communities, Adams’ initiative hopes to ease that burden so that they can concentrate on healing others rather than making ends meet.
