Press Release

Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) today announced $1,450,732 in federal funding for Chris Community Health Services and an additional $283,932 for the Memphis Health Center. Today's funding comes through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Health Center Cluster and Health Infrastructure Investment Program grant programs, which aim to support primary health care services in underserved areas and allow health centers to better meet community needs, respectively.

"Christ Community Health Services and the Memphis Health Center provide vital services to the Memphis community," said Congressman Cohen. "These new federal funds will help continue to provide the citizens of Memphis with the health care they need, regardless of where they live or how much they make."

The Memphis Health Center was founded in 1970 to improve community health and well-being for the citizens of Shelby and Fayette counties. Christ Community Health Services has focused on fulfilling the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of the poor, the uninsured and the homeless in Memphis since 1995.
