Are you a compassionate and driven Registered Respiratory Therapist who is passionate about delivering exceptional patient care in a collaborative, team-focused environment? At Lee Health, you’ll be part of a culture where your expertise is valued, your contributions are respected, and your professional growth is supported.

We are excited to expand our ION Robotic Bronchoscopy Team at Cape Coral Hospital. As part of this opportunity, the Bronchoscopy Suite is currently undergoing renovation as part of the hospital’s expansion. Due to the renovation, the individual in this role will be expected to support both bronchoscopy procedures and general Respiratory Therapy services during renovations as we currently do not have the volumes for a full bronchoscopy case load.

However, once renovations are completed (anticipated by Summer 2026), the role will transition to focus exclusively on bronchoscopies.

* Once the renovations are completed and a full case load can be assigned, this position will transition to a Monday Friday, four 10 hour shift a week schedule which offers an excellent work-life balance in a highly specialized and innovative clinical setting.
