I'm surprised nobody on TOTV took the time to cheer for the good medical news in Tuesday's Daily Sun. The article gave details about the Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood.
It will be a 285,000-square-foot, golf cart-accessible medical center – a bedless hospital of sorts that features everything but an intensive care unit and an emergency department. It will be located on 31 acres on SR 44 and due west of Grand Traverse Plaza.
What took me by surprise is the long list of partners in this project - The Villages Health anchoring primary and specialty care services alongside Florida Cancer Specialists, Lake Medical Imaging, LabCorp diagnostics and testing, Lake Centre for Rehab, St. Luke’s Cataract & Laser Institute and Walgreens Pharmacy.
When fully completed, there will also be a 151-room hotel, a Wolfgang Puck-licensed restaurant and a full-service medical spa.

In addition to this, there was the announcement a few weeks ago by Central Florida Health of an expansion plan at Brownwood. The parent of The Villages Regional Hospital and Leesburg Regional Medical Center has under contract 40 acres due south of Brownwood with immediate plans to build a 24/7 emergency department and possibly another golf cart-accessible hospital.
