On March 2, Eric Anderson updated the CRC and 48 attendees on the Lee Health Hospital construction project. The hospital has added another wing to keep up with the growing needs of the community, and can add an additional wing as needs arise. This brings the number of beds from the original 160 planned, to a total of 260.
The new $820 million, 53-acre medical campus at Colonial and Challenger Boulevards in Fort Myers, just topped off the building on March 1… 13 months after starting the first foundation, and 33,000 cubic yards of concrete later. Completion is expected in September 2028.
This state-of-the-art facility will feature a hospital with up to 260 beds, an emergency department, and the Lee Health Musculoskeletal Institute. The campus is designed to withstand high-level hurricane winds (up to 174 mph) and is built 23 feet above ground level for flood protection.
