Regional health system operating two hospitals and cancer centers in East Alabama
East Alabama Health operates two acute-care hospitals and specialized centers across Lee County, Alabama, serving a fast-growing region with 3,700+ employees and 380 physicians. The hiring velocity is accelerating, heavily weighted toward clinical and healthcare roles (435 open positions), with concentrated project work on medication safety, cancer care navigation, and coding accuracy—suggesting operational maturity challenges typical of multi-facility nonprofit systems managing billing, compliance, and patient safety at scale.
East Alabama Health is a nonprofit healthcare system anchored by East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika and EAMC-Lanier Hospital in Valley, Alabama. The organization serves Lee County and surrounding areas with specialized programs in oncology (Spencer Cancer Center, opened 2019), orthopedics, heart health, and a level III NICU opened in 2021. Recent expansions include the Auburn Medical Pavilion, which houses a freestanding ED, ambulatory surgery, and breast health services. The system uses Cerner for clinical operations, Workday and ADP for payroll and HR, and Kronos for scheduling—a typical health system stack. Active project focus centers on medication safety, surgical and cancer navigation programs, and billing cycle optimization.
Cerner is the primary clinical system, supported by Workday and ADP for workforce management, Kronos for scheduling, and Microsoft Office suite for operations.
