Lee Health announces partnership with DispatchHealth

Lee Health this week announced a partnership with DispatchHealth, a provider of in-home medical care Tuesday. Through the partnership, patients in Southwest Florida will now have a convenient way to receive high-quality, in-person medical care in the comfort of their home, officials said.

Lee Health began supporting this new in-home healthcare option to community members throughout Lee County in Florida on Aug. 26. DispatchHealth provides in-home medical care for a wide range of common to complex injuries and illnesses including viral infections, COPD exacerbations, congestive heart failure and more.

Patients can request care via phone or by visiting DispatchHealth’s mobile app or website, no referral needed. Once requested, a trained medical team typically arrives at the patient’s home within a few hours, equipped with the necessary tools and treatments, including on-site diagnostics and a CLIA-certified lab. In addition to the on-site care, DispatchHealth also coordinates additional patient needs such as prescriptions, ongoing care with their physician and billing with insurance companies.

DispatchHealth began operations in Florida in September 2020 and over the last year has rapidly increased the number of markets it serves throughout the state. The partnership with Lee Health will expand the company’s reach to more patients in Florida. DispatchHealth is open seven days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays.
