PRESS RELEASE

Despite looming budget cuts and everdeclining insurance reimbursements, Lee Memorial Health System is moving forward on a new family medicine residency program. It's a leap of faith for a hospital system that believes the program will be a medical necessity for this region's rapidly aging population. "We need primary care physicians. Florida is actually exporting physicians today," said Richard Akin, chairman of the system's elected board of directors. "We need them to stay in our community." The system, in cooperation with the Florida State University College of Medicine, expects to take its first residency applicants next year.

PRESS RELEASE

Lee Memorial Health System is joining forces with a major university to keep future doctors here in Southwest Florida. The argument is simple: more students graduating medical school are looking for work elsewhere. There aren't enough residency programs in the state to offer the needed training. In fact, not one hospital in Lee, Collier or Charlotte County has a residency program. But, all that is about to change. The Florida State University College of Medicine is joining Lee Memorial Health System to create the residency program. The medical partnership will welcome its first class of residency in July of 2013. The program, which will focus on primary care, is the first in the area. Watch video [wmv]
