For many healthcare professionals, student loan payments are a reality long after graduation. And when you’re balancing monthly expenses, retirement savings can sometimes take a back seat.

At Providence, we believe advancing your career shouldn’t mean putting your financial future on hold.

That’s why we offer our Student Debt Match program, which helps eligible caregivers (employees) focus on paying their student loans while building retirement savings.

Supporting your financial goals today and tomorrow

Saving for retirement and paying off student loans can feel like competing priorities. The Student Debt Match program helps bridge that gap.

Through the program, eligible student loan payments are treated similarly to retirement plan contributions for matching purposes. Providence then provides an employer match based on those payments, which is deposited directly into your 401(k) account.

Check out the example graphic below from Fidelity that explains how caregivers in different financial circumstances can still meet their match.

All our caregivers also have complimentary access to Fidelity’s financial planning services, where you can work 1:1 with a workplace financial consultant for help with budgeting, debt management, emergency savings, important decisions about your investments and much more.

These benefits reflect our commitment to supporting caregivers throughout every stage of their careers.

Why this benefit matters

The Student Debt Match program can help eligible caregivers:

• Build retirement savings
• Take advantage of employer matching contributions
• Focus on student debt payments

Over time, even relatively modest retirement contributions can add up. Learn more about the power of compounding plus regular investing.
