Cape Coral Hospital Magnet Journey
Welcome from the Chief Nurse at Cape Coral Hospital
The opportunity to serve the Cape Coral Community is an honor. The motto I best live with is to keep serving, keep learning, stay grateful and share everything you know.
The Cape team is filled with love, kindness, compassion and works with a strong sense of community. The Journey to Excellence is well under way at Cape Coral Hospital. We continue to evolve our Strategic Plan that supports engagement, quality, safety, care coordination and stewardship. Thank you to Lee Health for the strong support given to our Cape Team.
With deep appreciation,
Candace
