The Mayo Clinic just up the road ( 2.5 hours ). I have been there several times, including surgery, and they are definitely first rate. U of Florida is just up the road (a little over an hour). I think Florida is fine for health care but you need to drive a bit to find the good stuff. If you have an issue that is over the top you should consider a drive. Emergency room visits are, of course, not applicable.

Teaching hospitals are a magnet for research money and extremely skilled specialists.
