HCA Florida continues to expand its reach in Lee County as it completed the purchase in late February of Lehigh Regional Medical Center from California-based Prime Healthcare.

The 53-bed hospital at 1500 Lee Blvd. has been renamed HCA Florida Lehigh Hospital and will be part of the HCA Healthcare West Florida Division, which serves communities along Florida’s west coast from Lee County north through Citrus County. The hospital has operated in Lee County since 1965.

“This hospital and associated physician practices are a wonderful complimentary addition to our existing 17 hospitals within our division along Florida’s West Coast and will serve as a catalyst for growth as we further expand our services and programs in Lee County,” Jyric Sims, president of HCA Healthcare West Florida Division, said in a news release.
