HUNTSVILLE – Crestwood Medical Center recently appointed interim Chief Nursing Officer Lance Eiland as its permanent CNO.

Eiland received his nursing degree from Bevill State Community College and master’s in organizational leadership and nursing management from the University of Arkansas Grantham in 2019.

Prior to joining Crestwood, Eiland served as assistant CNO at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, overseeing the inpatient medical/surgical floors, intensive care units, the emergency department, respiratory department, vascular access team, and the dialysis program.

“Lance has a track record of keeping patient care and safety as top priorities,” said Crestwood CEO Matthew Banks. “He cares about his nursing team and works hard to make sure they have the resources and support available to succeed in providing quality patient care along with service excellence.”

He said Eiland has already shown tremendous leadership during his time as interim CNO.

“We look forward to seeing future accomplishments as our organization continues to grow, working to attract and maintain experienced and compassionate nurses to care for our patients,” he said.
