Gulf Coast Medical Center — Fort Myers, FL

For allied clinicians, Gulf Coast's draw is its breadth — a stroke-thrombectomy program, an open-heart service, and a regional cancer center under one roof, all at trauma-center volume.

• The Comprehensive Stroke Center relies on neuro-interventional radiology (thrombectomy) and CT/MRI, backed by a dedicated neuroscience ICU.
• Open-heart surgery and a cardiac cath lab call for catheterization-lab technologists and perfusionists.
• The Regional Cancer Center supports radiation oncology, infusion, and advanced cancer-care imaging.
• Diagnostic imaging spans CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine across the trauma, cardiac, and cancer programs.
• Twenty-two operating rooms across neurosurgery, orthopedics, and vascular surgery keep surgical technologists in steady rotation; dialysis and lithotripsy add procedural work.
