Crestwood Medical Center

What Crestwood Medical Center does

Crestwood Medical Center is a 180-bed acute care hospital headquartered at One Hospital Drive in Huntsville, Alabama, serving families across Huntsville, Madison County, Limestone County, and parts of southern Tennessee. Founded in 1965 and operating with approximately 1,000 employees, the hospital provides a comprehensive range of services spanning emergency care, robotic-assisted surgery, women's health, heart care (including an Accredited Chest Pain Center with a 14-minute average door-to-balloon time), maternity care with a Level II NICU, cancer care, bariatric surgery, wound care and hyperbaric medicine, sleep medicine, and ALS specialty care delivered through an ALS Association Certified Treatment Center of Excellence. Service delivery is supported by a network of integrated outpatient facilities including a freestanding emergency department in Harvest, multiple imaging and diagnostic centers, and Crestwood Medical Group's multi-specialty physician practice covering more than 35 medical specialties.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service healthcare model with revenue generated from patient services billed across operating room, recovery room, intensive care, laboratory, imaging, medications, and ancillary services, plus separately billed physician fees for radiology, pathology, and anesthesia. Marketing and access channels include a physician referral network, community health education, an online price estimator (carepricer.nthrive.com), and the MyHealthHome patient portal with mobile apps on iOS and Android. Pricing is not publicly tiered; estimates are provided on request, and financial assistance programs (Charity Care and Uninsured Discount) are aligned to U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines.

On April 1, 2026, Crestwood completed its $450 million sale from publicly-traded Community Health Systems (NYSE: CYH) to nonprofit Huntsville Hospital Health System (HH Health), making it part of a 14-hospital regional network and giving HH Health 100% control of inpatient acute care in Huntsville. The hospital is currently led by President Kyle Buchanan (appointed April 2026) and COO Scott Bracci (joined September 2025), following the departure of CEO Justin Serrano in March 2026.
