About this area

Lehigh Acres

Lehigh Acres is one of the largest inland residential communities in Lee County, with many working families, a substantial Hispanic population and limited local specialty care. Evening and Saturday-adjacent scheduling is the norm for participants here.

Getting to our office

Take Lee Boulevard or Homestead Road west to SR-82, continue into Fort Myers, then follow Colonial Boulevard west across the Midpoint Memorial Bridge onto Veterans Parkway and north on Chiquita Boulevard S.

Local information

• Local starting points: Veterans Park, the Lee Boulevard and Homestead Road corner and the Joel Boulevard corridor.
• Lehigh Acres sees high rates of untreated hypertension, type 2 diabetes and adult asthma, in part because most residents drive out of town for specialist care.
• The drive takes about 35 to 40 minutes; SR-82 congests between 7 and 9 a.m. and again from 4 to 6 p.m. with commuter traffic.
• We keep late-day appointment blocks for Lehigh Acres participants, offer visits in Spanish, and discuss study travel reimbursement at the screening visit.
