Healthcare
Southwest Florida has a large and vibrant healthcare sector. Based on the region’s demographics, this is a bright place to conduct a broad range of research activities and clinical trials.
Healthcare services are essential to the growth of Southwest Florida. Since retirees (ages 65+) make up a large portion of the area’s population – and our fantastic climate and lifestyle will continue to attract seniors as well as young families to the region – highly skilled healthcare professionals and cutting-edge facilities are a must.
Because of our quality of life, the six-county area has attracted many top physicians from around the world. And advanced hospitals and facilities like the new Gulf Coast Medical Center in Ft. Myers – part of the thriving Lee Memorial Health System – and HealthSouth Long-term Acute Care Hospital in Sarasota are providing the services our people need now and for the future.
