History of the Mental Health Center of Madison County
The Huntsville/ Madison County Mental Health Board was incorporated in December 1968 and held its first meeting in April 1969. The Center is a direct result of the 1967 Alabama Legislature passing Act 310, which regulated and authorized the formation of regional mental health boards. A 12 member governing board governs the center with six appointees from the City of Huntsville and six from the Madison County Commission

Organizational Chart

Annual Report (Fiscal Year 2008-2009)
The Mental Health Center of Madison County celebrated several accomplishments during FY 2009 in spite of a drastic downturn in the economy that resulted in significant funding shortfalls. Our hope is that the year will not be remembered for the “great recession”, but as “the recession that made us great”. In the midst of great economic challenges, children were served in new ways in their homes and at their schools, adults were cared for in their communities so they could avoid expensive institutional care, and families who struggle with the effects of mental illness and substance use were supported in a more efficient and effective manner. Electronic health records were fully implemented during the year, our website was completely overhauled to be more informational and interactive, and, finally, new compliance standards were adopted to make us a more trustworthy and transparent care provider.
