For the March 2021 edition of SRQ Magazine, we interviewed two Lakewood Ranch Leaders: Andy Guz of Lakewood Ranch Medical Center and Scott Zelniker of UBS Financial Services. Below is an excerpt published in the In Conversation marketing feature in which Andy shares his insight with SRQ readers on how Lakewood Ranch Medical Center has evolved to support growth.

HOW DOES LAKEWOOD RANCH MEDICAL CENTER STAY AHEAD OF THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY? 

The more people that move here, the more people we just know statistically are going to need medical care. We’ve been planning for this since really the opening when we started, but especially since 2016, we really started to kick up more projects and more growth and adding service lines. We’ve actually expanded the offerings of what we’ve done here in terms of this service line, so people don’t have to drive to Sarasota or to the Tampa areas to get the sub-specialized care they may need. For a hospital and being the only actual hospital in the Lakewood Ranch community, we take that pretty seriously. What we’re trying to do is really meet the demand and the needs of the residents that are here.
