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.

About FSU's Transitional Year Residency Program:
The program is based out of Cape Coral Hospital, offering a well-balanced clinical year that prepares residents for success in a wide variety of specialties. Through diverse rotations in general internal medicine, internal subspecialties, emergency medicine, and electives tailored to individual career goals, residents gain a strong foundation in patient care across settings.
Build a Legacy.
We emphasize education, ensuring residents have protected time and flexibility to pursue their academic and professional development. Equally important, we prioritize wellness and balance, taking full advantage of the supportive community and year-round sunshine of Southwest Florida. With the mentorship of experienced faculty and the resources of a large health system, graduates of our Transitional Year are exceptionally well-prepared to enter advanced residency programs and thrive as compassionate, skilled Physicians.
Come build with us.
During training, residents will participate in a broad-based program of graduate medical education in multiple clinical disciplines within the supportive environment and close-knit community of Cape Coral and Lee Health. Due to a shortage of physicians in Southwest Florida, we hope that our residents will have such an exceptional experience here that our graduates would consider staying in the area to practice or, after completion of their advanced training programs, that our graduates would consider returning to the area to practice.
