Lee Health’s Cape Coral Hospital has expanded to 34 patient beds in the ICU. It has also increased its dialysis from four to six units.

The expanded ICU brings more options for critical care to the growing Cape Coral population and beyond. The expansion adds 11,190 square feet of vertical space over an existing MRI and ultrasound area.

In addition to adding 12 ICU rooms and staff support areas with a tie-in to the existing second floor, there is a first-of-its-kind HVAC pandemic mode that allows the new addition to become its own negative pressure wing, expanding isolation patient space in the event of a widespread infectious disease occurrence.
