IGNORE THIS TITLE
Our Project
Envisioned as a hospital of the future, the Lee Health Fort Myers Hospital supports accessible, high-quality care while remaining flexible to respond to evolving community needs. To support the growing community, Lee Health worked with Flad to define necessary services and right-size the program and space to support them.
Seamlessly connecting interior and exterior spaces, particularly along the curved main concourse linking emergency services, the main entry and the adjacent medical office building, the design supports wellness and comfort. A full-height glass curtainwall introduces daylight, reinforces intuitive wayfinding and creates a welcoming sense of openness.
Hurricane Ian’s devastation on the area underscored the importance of resilience. The design incorporates elevated floors and parking, along with enhanced water systems to maintain care during prolonged disruptions. The result is a future-ready hospital that establishes a new benchmark for patient-centered, adaptable health care environments.
