Lee Health: Summer isn’t for waiting rooms — Get in-home care instead

Summers are meant for enjoying time with family, not sitting in a crowded waiting room. If you or a loved one experiences a health concern that needs attention today — but doesn’t require a trip to the emergency department (ED) — DispatchHealth brings same-day, high-quality medical care directly to your home.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition that’s suddenly flaring up, facing a new illness that’s making it hard to get out of bed or caring for an aging parent who needs care now, Lee Health’s partner, DispatchHealth, can help. This service is ideal for health concerns you would normally take to the ED, like heat exhaustion, complex urinary tract infections, severe flu or COVID, dehydration, high fevers, minor injuries and more. DispatchHealth’s licensed professionals care for patients 6 months and older, including those with multiple or ongoing health issues.

Available daily, even on holidays

Appointments are available from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m., seven days a week, including holidays, making it a great option when your primary care provider’s office is closed or booked up.

Easy to use, no referral needed

Getting started is simple and you do not need a referral. Just visit DispatchHealth.com or call 239-301-3730. Explain your symptoms and the DispatchHealth team will confirm that your condition is appropriate for in-home care. Within a few hours, DispatchHealth will arrive at your home, fully equipped to treat you on the spot.

They can also prescribe medications, update your primary care doctor and handle billing. DispatchHealth is in-network with most insurance plans and often has the same out-of-pocket cost as a visit to an urgent care center, far less than a trip to the emergency department.

Care that comes to you

We’re proud to offer this partnership with DispatchHealth to ensure you get the right care, right at home. As you enjoy your summer, rest assured that same-day medical care is just a phone call or click away…
