He will continue to fighting for Tennessee's hospitals in a bipartisan fashion to bring funds that will help keep hospitals around the state open and that will help provide all Memphians and Tennesseans access to the medical care they need.
Continue fighting for Tennessee hospitals and community health centers so they can stay open and residents can access needed care.

Evidence
Cohen said the FY2026 spending bills he sought funding for were signed into law and included community projects in TN-9, with the release noting community health centers among the funded priorities.
Cohen announced that Christ Community Health Services, a Memphis community health center, received a $6,832,768 HRSA grant to operate programs for medically vulnerable patients.
Assessments
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.
