Congressman Steve Cohen of TN-9 announced today that Tri-State Community Health Center will be receiving a grant of $1,416,200 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The lack of Medicaid expansion in Tennessee puts a strain on financially burdened hospitals who are left to provide high levels of uncompensated care to uninsured individuals. This also prevents Tennesseans from fully benefiting from a federal program that they already contribute to through their tax dollars.
In his statement, Congressman Cohen emphasized the critical need that Tri-State Community Health Center fulfills by serving many individuals who do not have access to affordable health insurance due to Tennessee’s failure to expand its Medicaid program, TennCare. He commended Tri-State Community Health Center for their important work and expressed his gratitude that they were awarded these funds to support their services.
The funding will enable them to expand their reach and impact in the community, ensuring that more individuals have access to affordable and quality healthcare. Congressman Cohen’s support for Tri-State Community Health Center reflects his commitment to improving healthcare access for all residents in his district and beyond.
