Who we are...
We're your friends, your family and your neighbors.
Open since 1916, Lee
Memorial Health System - or LMHS as we like to call it - continues to
be an award-winning healthcare system serving thousands of
patients each year. Our success, however, begins with our
greatest assets...our employees.
Our staff is routinely
recognized for the compassionate and dedicated care they provide
to their patients. More than 8,500 employees and 3,000
volunteers are part of the LMHS family - the very heart of our
health System.
Additionally, more than 70 board
certified physicians are on staff full-time at Lee Physician
Group and Lee Convenient Care offices. LMHS also employs over 90
specialists who provide care for our patients in Lee County.
Our medical staff, which
totals nearly 1,000 Lee County physicians, is also a vital part
of our health system. These physicians assisted on more than
74,700 patient contacts at LMHS facilities last year.
We're much more than just a
health system.
We're caring people caring for people.
