HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (May 2, 2024) – As our community grows, so does the need for medical care. We want to be able to find a doctor when we’re sick, someone we can trust. Both of our hospitals are adding new options while also supporting the development of health care professionals who can one day open offices of their own.

Crestwood Medical Center opened a Family Health & Wellness and New Family Residency Clinic on April 22, as CEO Matthew Banks cut the ribbon along with Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle and clinic staff.

The new clinic, located at 4800 Whitesport Circle SW, is led by Shaista Qureshi, M.D. and Wanda Smith, CRNP and includes eight family medicine physicians.  This new clinic will provide more accessibility for primary care for local residents, including care for newborns, children, adolescents, and adults.

Crestwood will soon open a separate Internal Medicine Residency Clinic on campus at 165 Whitesport Drive with 12 resident physicians. Led by attending physician and Interim Program Director, Rodney Holladay, MD, these physicians will care for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension as well as acute care illnesses and wellness visits. This clinic will open on May 23.

“A part of Crestwood’s mission is to enhance the well-being of our community and our graduate medical education program is vital to providing more access to primary care in our community,” says Matthew Banks, Crestwood CEO. “These medical students will put their training to practice in these clinics and then hopefully set up their own clinic in our community afterwards.”
