Some Massachusetts primary care and behavioral health care workers could soon receive tens of thousands of dollars in loan repayment awards through a new program the Baker administration announced Thursday to address persistent staffing challenges in those sectors.Applications to a $130 million loan repayment program will open next month for health care workers based at community health centers, community mental health centers, psychiatric units at acute care hospitals, in-patient psychiatric hospitals and substance use treatment programs, the Executive Office of Health and Human Services said.
