All Lee Health hospitals received honors as Best Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report for the high-quality care they provide to the Southwest Florida community.

Lee Health is honored to be the first healthcare system in Florida to be recognized with the Governor’s Sterling Award, granted by the Sterling Council.

Lee Health has been honored with the inaugural Pinnacle of EHR Experience Award from the KLAS Arch Collaborative, recognizing our health system’s efforts to enhance the electronic health record (EHR) experience for physicians and providers.

Position Information:

Lee Health is a nonprofit organization with more than 17,000 employees, 4,500 volunteers, and more than 1,200 employed primary care and specialty providers with multiple practice locations throughout Southwest Florida.

Gulf Coast Medical Center at Lee Health, in partnership with Florida State University, is launching a new 16:16:16 Internal Medicine Residency Program, and we are seeking trailblazing physicians to join our faculty.
