The new clinic provides convenient access to medical care after storm damaged previous location
December 20, 2022 — Lee Health has opened a new mobile health care clinic to help serve the Dunbar Community.
The mobile clinic was established to provide services to Dunbar residents after Lee Health’s Lee Community Healthcare office was heavily damaged during Hurricane Ian.
Located at 3637 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Fort Myers, the mobile clinic is open Monday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m. It will be on-site until the new Dunbar office is open, which is slated for April 2023.
“Even though our office was badly damaged in the hurricane, it’s imperative that our community members in Dunbar can still get access to health care,” said Bob Johns, executive director of Lee Community Healthcare. “This mobile health care clinic will be able to provide them with the services they need in their own neighborhood. We can’t thank Treasure Coast Community Health enough for generously loaning us the mobile clinic. We are so grateful for their kindness and support.”
The mobile clinic is accompanied by two tents in the parking lot that will collectively provide a lobby with chairs for patients to wait, a check-in and checkout center, and two exam rooms.
If patients need transportation to the mobile unit, they are encouraged to call 239-481-4111.
Until the new building is complete, patients can also see their medical provider at Lee Health’s Outpatient Center at Sanctuary, 8960 Colonial Center Dr., Fort Myers.
Created by Lee Health, Lee Community Healthcare is a community health center that provides primary medical care to the medically uninsured and economically distressed residents of Southwest Florida. Lee Community Healthcare has four family medicine locations, which are in Dunbar, North Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres, two women’s health offices located in East and South Fort Myers, six pediatric primary care offices located in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs and Port Charlotte, and one behavioral health office located in Fort Myers.
The mobile clinic is also partially funded by Florida Blue.
