Cherokee Health Systems has the largest network of community health centers in Tennessee and is also one of the largest federally qualified health centers in the U.S., according to the report.
The merger with Cherokee will allow Resurrection to expand its reach into West Tennessee. Cherokee’s status as a federally qualified health center also lends funding stability to Resurrection upon merging.
Resurrection has a staff of 57 healthcare practitioners. It has been working to build up its primary care safety net in Memphis from its start, according to the report. Through its residency program, Resurrection Family Medicine, the health system has focused on recruiting, training and retaining premier physicians.
