Donations in Action

Lee Memorial Health System Foundation has been very active in funding different projects in support of Lee Memorial’s mission. To continue to meet the health care needs and improve the health status of Southwest Florida, we need your support..

Young patients receive extra special care thanks to the annual Boston Red Sox Children's Hospital Celebrity Classic.

Community support helps give tiny premature babies a chance at life.

Generous donations supported construction of chapels on all LMHS campuses.

The Barbara’s Friends Outpatient Hematology Oncology Center at The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida - constructed entirely with donations - serves hundreds of children from across Southwest Florida.

The LMHS Arts in Healthcare program, supported with donor gifts, provides healing therapies for patients of all ages.
