You’ve already chosen the perfect career for you – now choose the right place to grow. 

I excited to let you know of the exciting opportunities available to provide medical care at East Alabama Health (EAH), which is located in one of the fastest-growing areas in the state of Alabama. The beautiful Auburn-Opelika area is centrally located between Atlanta, Birmingham and every beach along the Gulf Coast. Plus, it is home to a diverse, tight-knit community with outstanding school systems as well as a vibrant food and entertainment industry. Auburn-Opelika is one of the largest area of growth in the state of Alabama.

To keep up with the growing need of care in the area, EAH has expanded its facilities. In 2019, we built the Spencer Cancer Center, a beautiful, $40 million comprehensive cancer care facility. A year later, we opened a 35,000 square-foot cardiology clinic with 24 exam rooms, 12 rooms dedicated to imaging, and office space for 15 providers – it’s called Pinnacle Cardiology Associates. In 2021, our Auburn Medical Pavilion opened in the Auburn Research Park on the Auburn University campus. It houses a freestanding emergency department, a retail pharmacy, our largest outpatient imaging facility, an ambulatory surgery center and a dedicated breast health center.

Additionally in 2021, we opened an 11-bed level III NICU to serve the growing patient demand for services in the area. Also on our main hospital campus, construction is underway to add 30 critical care beds—and space for future expansion—to our West Pavilion with an expected opening of Spring 2026. A groundbreaking was held in January 2024 to announce plans for a $40 million Center for Mental Health that is slated to open in Fall 2025. This project will include 40 private inpatient rooms, allow for moving our East Alabama Psychiatric Services outpatient clinic to the facility and provide space for our new psychiatric residency program.

Our main hospital campus, East Alabama Medical Center (EAMC) was recently featured on Newsweek’s 2024 list of America’s Best Maternity Hospitals. In addition, EAMC has been recognized as a top provider in cancer care, orthopedics and mammogram imaging by Women’s Choice Award.

The medical staff at EAH has experienced growth comparable to the area. The physicians here are some of the finest in the medical field and we continue to hire the best of the best. In the past 5 years, more than 110 physicians have been recruited to East Alabama Health and we are looking to recruit an additional physician to meet our community’s growing needs.

I truly believe that there is no other hospital or work environment better than East Alabama Heath.
