Do you feel local hospice and palliative care options are sufficient for families in your community?

Avow has officially opened a new office in Fort Myers as part of a broader expansion across Southwest Florida. The Naples-based nonprofit aims to enhance access to its hospice, palliative, and home health services for Lee County residents.

Why it matters

This move increases local access to grief support and medical care for families throughout Lee County. By establishing a dedicated presence in the area, the organization intends to better serve the community with its range of specialized health services.

The organization is moving forward with plans to construct a 40,000-square-foot facility at the Hope Preserve site. This infrastructure project follows the recent opening of their initial office space in the city.

The players

Avow

Avow is a nonprofit organization based in Naples that specializes in hospice, palliative care, home health, and grief support.

The details

The organization provides hospice, palliative care, Medicare-certified home health, and grief support services to the region. This expansion marks a significant step in increasing the footprint of their medical and bereavement support programs.

The new Fort Myers office opened in October 2026.

Market Landscape

This development follows the broader documented trend of community-based palliative care models in Southwest Florida. By scaling operations into Lee County, the organization positions itself to capture greater market share in a competitive regional health sector.

Local families now have improved access to specialized hospice and palliative care services within their own community. Residents can expect consistent service standards as the nonprofit integrates its established care models into the new local office.

The takeaway

Accessing hospice and palliative care locally can significantly reduce travel burdens for families managing serious health conditions. Residents should reach out to the new office to determine the availability of specific support programs in the Lee County area.
