Our Mission
NCH is proud to be a committed partner to meet the needs of the people of Marco Island and its surrounding communities. We recently commemorated 40 years of care on the island and are building a new, state-of-the-art urgent-care facility on Heathwood Drive, as well as renovating our existing rehabilitation and outpatient facility.
You can already receive extensive services at our current NCH Marco Island Urgent Care Center, including advanced imaging and access to board-certified emergency physicians and registered nurses. We’re open seven days a week to serve you with comprehensive, accessible care of the same quality as our high-ranking hospitals. In fact, the NCH Marco Island Urgent Care recently received the PRC 5-Star Excellence Award for Overall Quality Care in 2025, a top recognition based on patient experience. Our rehab team and local doctors, such as Dr. Angelo Babbo, also receive high patient-satisfaction scores.
As part of the community, NCH has a special advisory committee of local business and resident leaders to inform us about your healthcare needs on the island. We’re dedicated to providing excellent care on one campus, centrally located on Marco. The new, 25,000-square-foot facility will feature 12 private exam rooms, a triage room, a lab, updated X-ray and CT-scan equipment, and more. The second floor will contain additional outpatient services and medical offices based on local demand. We’re also upgrading the medical-plaza building on the site and revamping the parking.
Generous multimillion-dollar donations from local couples Barbara and Steve Slaggie and Pat and Scot Kaufman are helping to make our dream of transforming care on Marco Island a reality, but every dollar matters as we forge ahead with this project to provide the best possible care with high-quality services in one convenient location for diagnostics, treatments and prevention.
