We offer technology and care not usually seen in a community the size of Lakeland.

Lakeland Regional stands apart from other major hospitals in Polk County and from the larger hospital systems due to its focus on both advanced care and technology. Our facility was the first in the region to offer open heart procedures, including less-invasive robotic surgery. Our Heart Center is the largest and most comprehensive in the county and our Heart Team is composed of some of the Southeast’s most talented cardiovascular surgeons, electrophysiologists and cardiologists who perform more than 9,000 procedures per year.

Our Cancer Center offers unparalleled care, and is the area’s first dedicated, comprehensive center of its kind, offering coordinated, integrated and accessible care. Lakeland Regional’s Cancer Program is now the fifth largest in Florida and definitely one of the most respected, not only for its renowned staff of oncologists and surgeons, but for its understanding and treatment of female reproductive cancers.

The Emergency Department at Lakeland Regional Medical Center is the second busiest in the State, with more than 130,000 patient visits per year, and offers a separate and specialized Pediatric Emergency Department. Our Wound Care Center specializes in the treatment of problem wounds that result from diabetes, venous insufficiency and trauma and features state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Lakeland Regional Medical Center is committed to providing patient-focused, health care services while continuing to improve the quality of care to our patients, families, guests and physicians.
