About this award
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has awarded a Loan Repayment Program Agreement to Mark P. Funk, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), with Columbus Community Hospital serving as the local entity. The contract, identified as 115175, provides a total loan repayment of $51,000 over a four-year period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028, to incentivize healthcare professional practice in a designated shortage area within Platte County, Nebraska.
The agreement requires Funk to maintain an average of 160 monthly practice hours in the shortage area, accept Medicaid patients, and apply the loan repayment funds to qualified education debt. DHHS will make quarterly payments of $4,250 to Funk upon practice verification, with Columbus Community Hospital providing matching funds. The contract includes provisions for quarterly payments, practice verification, potential early termination, and repayment obligations if the health professional discontinues practice in the designated shortage area. The total contract value of $51,000 is structured with varying annual contributions from DHHS and the local entity, supporting the Nebraska Rural Health Systems and Professional Incentive Act's objectives of addressing healthcare workforce shortages in rural communities.
