It is definitely CFH. in addition to the Daily Sun article, I was in a meeting where Michael Pittman, TVRH site administrator, stated this.

"We have purchased property in Brownwood/Wildwood and we are working on a new ED facility for that community as well."
The article I can't find also mentioned the new ED.

The announcement a few weeks ago by Central Florida Health indicated an expansion plan at Brownwood. The article stated that CFH 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.
So, the 24/7 emergency department will be step #1. Step #2 may follow later, which will be another hospital.
