Millennium Physician Group is coming to Wellen Park, adding another layer of health and wellness to the growing master-planned community. The Fort Myers-based group is building a 12,000-square-foot medical office on U.S. 41, which will offer primary and urgent care, radiology and lab services, and wellness advocacy and programs. “Providing residents with easy access to opportunities promoting improved wellness and a healthy, active lifestyle within the community is central to our vision for Wellen Park,” said Rick Severance, president of Wellen Park. “Millennium Physician Group complements and elevates that mission by bringing top healthcare and medical services close to home.”

The medical building will have offices for three primary care physicians and offer a full-service radiology department, lab and walk-in medical clinic for urgent-care needs with extended hours. Construction is expected to start soon with an anticipated opening in late 2023. Millennium Physician Group’s new building will provide convenient access to healthcare for Wellen Park’s existing 9,500 residents and the more than 50,000 residents planned at build-out.

“We are always looking to tend to the needs of our surrounding communities,” said Liza Fernandez, Millennium Physician Group’s director of marketing and public relations. “We look forward to caring for the residents in the new and vibrant community taking shape at Wellen Park.” Fernandez said the Wellen Park office will also offer health and wellness programs services for patients 65 and older. “Half of our patients are over 65 and we will be focusing on wellness and advocacy for them,” said Fernandez. “We currently offer diabetes education, smoking cessation, weight-loss and Medicare education programs. We also specialize in Medicare quality programs.” Patients will have the option to establish with the office’s primary care providers. Millennium is actively recruiting doctors and medical staff for the new building.
