What is a special needs guest?
A Special Needs Guest is determined by Lee County Emergency Management. To stay in a hospital during a hurricane you must be pre-qualified by your physician. In-hospital criteria are: IV Therapy, Hyperalmentation, Renal Dialysis, Ventilator Patient/Life Support, or third trimester pregnancy. For more information about third trimester pregnancies and planning for a hurricane, please speak with your physician. Special needs guests must be accompanied by a caregiver to be accepted into a hospital.
