As the most comprehensive cancer program in Southwest Florida, the Lee Health Regional Cancer Center is bolstering its services in an effort to keep cancer care close to home for community members.
To be able to care for even more community members, Lee Health is expanding its oncology program with plans to open new cancer center locations in Cape Coral and Bonita Springs.
Lee Health will first build-out the Coconut Point location to include oncology and infusion services, which will be located at the Bonita Health Center. The anticipated timeline to open this location is summer of 2023.
Plans to expand in Cape Coral are currently underway. While an exact location hasn’t yet been identified, the intent is to add services to the Cape in 3-4 years.
“Our goal is to meet the needs of our community, and as the population in Southwest Florida continues to grow, so does the need for more oncology services in the region,” said Debra Wilson, vice president of oncology for Lee Health. “By expanding our program, we are going to be able to keep our patients in their neighborhoods and community so they can be treated closer to home.”
