The ravages of Hurricane Ian forced 23 babies out of Lee County's neonatal intensive care to Broward County's, so the state's tourism marketing agency sprang into action. Soon 19 hoteliers signed on to accommodate families free of charge so they could stay close to the tiniest refugees of the storm. The Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida reported having issues with the building's infrastructure and a lack of potable water on Thursday, according to Local 10 in Pembroke Park. Hospitals losing power, losing water supply, and experiencing structural damage affected some 900 patients in Southwest Florida during last week's weather event, according to  National Public Radio.
