December 16, 2024 — Lee Health is pleased to announce the opening of Lee Health Imaging in partnership with Southwest Florida Proton.
Located at 9961 Estero Oaks Drive, Suite 102, in Fort Myers, the new center will help Southwest Florida patients receive diagnoses, treatment and easier access to medical services in south Lee County.
The Lee Health Imaging at Southwest Florida Proton Center will offer 3T MRIs, CT scans and PET scans. The outpatient center is also the first at Lee Health to offer the 3T magnet, which produces high-resolution and detailed images with a magnetic field twice as strong as the standard 1.5T MRI.
This new technology will help ensure that physicians have the tools to create the most effective treatment plan possible. The quick and painless tests available at the Lee Health Imaging at Southwest Florida Proton Center also help ensure seamless and supportive care for our community.“We are pleased to increase access to these vital healthcare services for the south Lee County community. We are passionate about making sure all our patients in Southwest Florida know about their healthcare options, and this new center makes it easy for patients in Naples and south Lee County to seek out care in their own backyards,” said Kris Fay, Lee Health’s chief officer of community-based care. “We are thrilled to partner with Southwest Florida Proton to create convenient access to care for everyone in the Southwest Florida community.”
