In 1995, the Health Care Authority of the City of Huntsville commissioned a comprehensive community health assessment. The Authority appointed a Community Health Initiative committee to address the prioritized findings of this assessment. The committee is made up of volunteers representing a cross-section of the community and strives to fulfill the Community Health Initiative mission: To improve the health status of the citizens of Madison County through education, prevention and early detection of disease. In June of 1996, the first Community Health Initiative grants were made to address the community's priority health issues with hopes that a measurable, positive impact would be seen on the overall health of our community. Quite a success story has unfolded since that time, and now our community is being served in ways no one would have dreamed possible.  2009 - 2010 recipients of Community Health Initiative Non-profit agencies receiving funding from Community Health Initiative
