Lee Memorial Health System, one of Florida’s largest public
health care systems, is led by a publicly elected Board of
Directors. The primary goal of these elected officials is to
carry out the mission and vision of the Lee Memorial Health
System (LMHS).
LMHS was founded in 1912. The first hospital
opened in 1916 and the existing site was built in 1943. The
hospital became a special unit of government in 1963 and
continues to work under the Enabling Legislation, modified
through years by the Florida Legislature.
The Board consists of ten publicly elected officials. Two
officials are elected from each of our five districts. Members are
elected on four year staggered terms by the citizens of Lee
County.
The Board holds regularly scheduled meetings on a monthly basis.
Committee meetings are held to hear goals, objectives and
recommendations from the Administrative and Medical staffs.
The duties of the Board include setting goals and objectives for
the System, hiring a System President for implementing these
goals, and monitoring the work of the administration to ensure
the goals and objectives are being achieved.
The Board today oversees five acute care hospitals, a rehabilitation
hospital, a children’s hospital, a skilled nursing facility, a
multi-specialty Physician group and various subsidiaries and
sub-agencies. The Board members also pursue projects and educational
efforts through this department.
LMHS is the largest public not-for-profit health care system in Florida with no taxing power and no direct tax
support while maintaining low charges and financially viability
through prudent purchasing, efficient delivery of care, philanthropic support and effective fiscal management.
