First Harbour Medical Centers, Lakewood Ranch

During the development First Harbour Medical Centers, the needs of patients were always front and center. Now, at three different locations, health-care providers continue to consider the wholeness of their patients—that is, mind and body—as they craft integrative treatment plans.

The primary-care division fulfills typical internal-medicine duties such as checkups, emergency care for minor injuries and illness, and prescriptions. The doctors specialize in managing conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and high cholesterol. First Harbour also offers an alternative-medicine program, which includes massage, acupuncture, and other regenerative treatments. The doctors there specialize in stress management, nutrition, anti-aging, and autoimmune disorders.
