Physicians' Primary Care expands to Lehigh Acres

LEHIGH ACRES — Physicians' Primary Care of Southwest Florida broke ground on a medical office building in Lehigh Acres, a bedroom community in Lee County that was hit hard by the foreclosure crisis.

The multi-specialty practice is building a 10,580-square-foot building at 3507 Lee Blvd., one of the main arterial roads in Lehigh Acres. The area has seen a resurgence of commercial development as the economic recovery takes hold and the foreclosure crisis abates.

“These new quarters will allow us to bring our Lehigh Acres offices — pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology and family medicine — all under one roof to accommodate the growth in patients,” says Mary Yankaskas, managing physician, in a statement.
