Changes Coming to TVRH Emergency Dept.
The following memo went out on July 14:
To: All Employees, Medical Staff Members and Volunteers
From: Bill Pfingsten, Vice President of Ambulatory Services
Michael Pittman, TVRH Chief Clinical Officer and Site Administrator
Date: July 14, 2017
Subject: TVRH Urgent Care Center Announcement
In an effort to meet the growing demand for Emergency Department (ED) services at The Villages Regional Hospital (TVRH), the TVRH Urgent Care Center will be convened to an ED Overflow Unit effective August 14, 2017. This special unit will enable us to provide more efficient care for patients that have non-life threatening conditions; ultimately reducing overall ED wait times and improving patient satisfaction.
We realize that the current TVRH Urgent Care Center is utilized by many Central Florida Health (CFH) team members. Team members who wish to continue using an in-network urgent care provider still have access to the Leesburg Regional Medical Center Urgent Care facility located adjacent to the hospital near the corner of Dixie Avenue and Rambo Street. Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the construction of another CFH Urgent Care Center in The Villages area. Please look for details of these developments in future communications.
