Congressman Cohen Announces $3.3 Million Grant to Christ Community Health Services

MEMPHIS – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today announced that Christ Community Health Services Inc. will receive a grant of $3,354,237 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for its ongoing work meeting the needs of the medically underserved.

Congressman Cohen made the following statement:

“This substantial grant will help Christ Community Health Services meet the medical care necessities of those Memphians most in need of them. I am pleased to see this funding address the needs of the poor since Tennessee’s state lawmakers are continuing to refuse to expand Medicaid. It is important that we support the community health centers that provide health care that is lacking because of the callous indifference of our state government.”
