Assessments
Cohen promised continued support for Tennessee hospitals and community health centers. During his current federal House term, documented FY2026 HRSA funding of $6.83 million went to Christ Community Health Services in Memphis, and Cohen also announced enacted community project funding that included community health center priorities. This is concrete federal funding supporting community health center operations and resident access to care, matching the promised outcome in the same term.
Cohen promised to keep fighting for Tennessee hospitals and community health centers so they could remain open and provide access to care. The evidence shows same-term federal actions tied to that promise: enacted FY2026 community project funding including community health center priorities and a 2026 HRSA grant of $6.8 million to Christ Community Health Services in Memphis. These are concrete funding outcomes for local health-care access during his current federal term, and the official releases credit Cohen with securing or announcing the support.
