Gulf Coast Medical Center (GCMC) is a 699-bed hospital located in Fort Myers, Florida.

Gulf Coast Medical Center was created through the merging of Southwest Florida Regional Medical Center and Gulf Coast Hospital in March 2009. Both were for-profit hospitals owned by Hospital Corporation of America.

Gulf Coast Hospital and Southwest Florida Regional Medical Center joined Lee Memorial Health Systems in 2006 before the merger, though the merger was planned before the change of ownership.

Gulf Coast Medical Center wraps around the former Gulf Coast Hospital and consists of 436,000 square feet of new construction and 20,000 square feet of renovation to the former facility. Construction required over 800 miles of electrical wire, 3,100 tons of steel and 5,500 tons of concrete.

Since 2018, Gulf Coast Medical Center has seen over 47,000 patients visit its facility annually.

Major services provided at Gulf Coast Medical Center include neuroscience, orthopedics, and general surgery.

Gulf Coast Medical Center is an accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center which has the physician coverage and technology to treat all stroke patients, including bleeding strokes—such as those caused by brain aneurysms. With 24/7 access to minimally invasive catheter procedures to treat stroke; a dedicated neurosurgical intensive care unit; and on-site neurological availability, Gulf Coast Medical Center has the ability to treat stoke patients with a variety of complex procedures.
