Florida is known for its booming healthcare services industry. Cape Coral’s Health-Related Services Cluster shows high growth. Specifically, the City is looking to channel recent growth to increase specialization in the healthcare market, particularly in niche segments, such as community health care services for the elderly, outpatient centers, and other residential care facilities (i.e., mental health). The Cape would be a great location for ecologically-minded health care providers.

Cape Coral Hospital is currently the largest medical facility in the Cape Coral Healthcare Market. It is one of several highly respected facilities that serve Cape Coral and the Gulf Coast, and was listed as one of the 100 top hospitals in the nation three out of the last five years and one of the 100 top hospitals in orthopedics.  Among the services offered are rehabilitation, pediatrics, obstetrics, oncology, general surgery, urology, endocrinology, gastroenterology and orthopedics. 

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has selected Cape Coral as the location for a new 220,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Regional VA Outpatient Clinic, which will provide acute care medical services for the region. The newly created Veterans Investment Zone (VIZ) in North Cape Coral will be an anchor for other health-related services and the Cape Coral Healthcare Market. 

The State of Florida is known as a premier retirement location. Cape Coral has the advantage of being in close proximity and home to a large elderly and retiree community, providing a strong local market. In addition, it has a high-quality of life that attracts baby boomers with increasing health demands.
