Erlanger hospital's CEO said Tuesday that he has narrowed down applications in the search for the hospital's new chief legal officer.

"I need to conduct interviews, and I anticipate that we will be making a selection shortly," said Kevin Spiegel, Erlanger's chief executive.

Dale Hetzler, who previously held the position for five years, resigned earlier this year. His annual salary was $306,015.

Since then, the hospital has relied chiefly on one in-house attorney and has been supplementing services with an attorney from the law firm Baker Donelson, Spiegel said.
