HCA Florida Healthcare announced it has completed the purchase of Lehigh Regional Medical Center from California-based Prime Healthcare. The 53-bed hospital in Lehigh Acres, Florida, has operated in Lee County and surrounding counties since 1965.
HCA Florida Healthcare operates more than 650 affiliated sites of care across the Sunshine State. The $134.5 million invested in the acquisition of Lehigh Regional Medical Center and the construction of the new HCA Florida Alico Emergency along with the two existing freestanding emergency rooms in Lee County, HCA Florida Cape Coral Emergency and HCA Florida West Fort Myers Emergency, will further expand the network’s acute care footprint in the county. HCA Florida Healthcare also operates multiple ambulatory surgery centers and other services in the area.
The hospital has been renamed HCA Florida Lehigh Hospital and will be part of the HCA Healthcare West Florida Division, which serves communities along the West Coast from Lee County north through Citrus County.
Lehigh Regional Medical Center currently provides specialty care services, including Emergency Services, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Nephrology and Orthopedics. These services are planned to continue and expand under HCA Florida Healthcare.
