Our History
On July 1, 2013, Lee Mental Health and Southwest Florida Addiction Services merged into one newly-named not-for-profit healthcare provider – SalusCare, Inc. – thus bringing the history of these two established community healthcare providers full circle.
SalusCare was selected as the name, drawing on the Latin roots of “Salus,” meaning health, prosperity and safety, which reflects the focus of the merged organization.
Today, SalusCare employs more than 350 people who bring hope and recovery to nearly 16,000 adults and children each year in Southwest Florida. Merging these long-standing mental health and substance abuse treatment organizations has ultimately improved care for children and adults by utilizing one seamless system of care.
