In June of 1996, the first Community Health Initiative grants were made to local agencies to address the community's priority health issues. Since its inception, Huntsville Hospital has awarded more than $12.4 million to 51 local agencies. The program is named in honor of Jean Wessel Templeton, long-time chairman of the volunteer committee which oversees the initiative.
