About Us
Susie Parker Stringfellow left her mark on Anniston, Ala., when she died in 1920 and bequeathed her home and eight acres of land to serve as the site for Stringfellow Hospital, a nonprofit hospital for tuberculosis patients.
In 1997, a multi-decade deal between Stringfellow Memorial Hospital and a Florida hospital chain generated millions of dollars that became seed money for the current foundation, which debuted in early 1999.

Mitchell Rogers, vice president of community partnerships at the Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama, said after the event that the origins of the foundation constructing these nature sacred places can be traced back to a book.
They (Nature Sacred) created this photo book that they mailed out to community foundations across the United States which landed on Jennifer Maddox's desk, which birthed the idea for us to memorialize Susie Parker Stringfellow," Rogers said, per the Anniston Star.
Maddox said on Friday that Nature Sacred paid for all the books to be distributed.
"We got it and we decided to honor the 100th anniversary of Susie's legacy and we decided that we would put two of these sites in the nine counties that we serve," Maddox said.
Nature Sacred is a growing network of urban sanctuaries created to improve a community by creating a stress-reducing space for residents and visitors
