East Alabama Medical Center

About East Alabama Health

ABOUT US:

We have exciting opportunities available to provide medical care at East Alabama Health (EAH), 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.

More recently, EAH has continued to make significant investments in the health infrastructure of its service area. In 2026, the organization added three new floors to its main hospital campus, creating 30 additional critical care beds and space for future expansion. That same year, EAH opened East Alabama Medical Center North https://www.eastalabamahealth.org/location/east-alabama-medical-center-north, a $40 million mental health hospital featuring 40 private inpatient rooms, on-site outpatient services through East Alabama Psychiatric Services, and a psychiatry residency program.

East Alabama Medical Center (EAMC), the flagship campus of EAH, was recently featured on Newsweek’s 2025 list of America’s Best-In-State Hospitals and Becker's Hospital Review's 2025 List of Top 150 Places to Work in Healthcare. In addition, EAMC has been recognized as a top provider in patient safety, patient experience, minimally invasive surgery, orthopedics and cancer care 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 160 physicians have been recruited to East Alabama Health. We are looking to recruit additional adult and child/adolescent psychiatrists to meet our community’s growing needs.
