Hospital history

Our hospital was built in 1965 and has been serving the community of Lehigh Acres ever since. 

Our history

While the hospital was founded in 1965, our current 53-bed facility opened in 1983. With the latest equipment and a dedicated group of medical teams, our mission to deliver high-quality healthcare services was able to become more of a reality with that transition. Later, we were renamed HCA Florida Lehigh Hospital, and have continued to undergo appropriate remodeling and renovations to ensure that we are able to stay current and serve you as best we can.
