You can contact SHINE (info on this site) for more info in the health care system in Florida, not the same as we had back up north. Do your homework, so you are prepared when you come down.


VT is correct (always). However I want to clarify a technical point for the OP. The Villages Health System is a physician group with numerous offices throughout The Villages. If you are over 65, and on Medicare, they will only accept a Medicare Advantage plan. If you are under 65, and have private insurance, check with the physician group because they do accept some plans.

The Villages Regional Hospital is not associated with the physician group. And the hospital accepts most insurances.
