We are fortunate to have excellent healthcare in Southwest Florida which is one of the reasons many people consider retiring to our area.  Lee Memorial Hospital in Lee County was recently recognized as one of the “Most Wired” hospitals according to Hospitals & Health Networks’ 17^th Annual Health Care Survey.  Out of more than 2,200 U.S. hospitals which were eligible, only 338 made the list.  Most Wired hospitals typically share critical patient information electronically with specialists and other care providers to reduce the likelihood of medical errors. To be honored, hospitals must meet a set of rigorous criteria across four operational categories. For a full list of winners visit www.hhnmag.com.

In addition to Lee Memorial Hospital system, Southwest Florida also has great healthcare options in Collier County.  Residents have access to 4 hospitals throughout the county.  NCH (Naples Community Hospital) has two locations, one in North Naples and one right downtown Naples.  Physicians Regional Healthcare System had a location in central Naples off of Pine Ridge Road as well as east Naples on Collier Boulevard.

There are several golf communities located near all of the hospitals in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Ft. Myers providing quick and easy access to great healthcare.
