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

WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today announced that Christ Community Health Services Inc. will receive a grant of $3,354,327 to support its ongoing work with the underserved from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

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 continue to refuse to expand our state's Medicaid program, TennCare. It is important that we support the community health centers that provide health care that is lacking because of the careless disregard of our state government."
