We usually go to Urgent Care unless they are not open.
"She seemed to agree that they are understaffed". That seems to be the biggest problem with the ER and health care in general in The Villages. I believe it can be fixed by recruiting and marketing nationwide for these needed medical nurses and doctors. JUST DO iT!
