Heart problems are not the only issue the population of the Villages has to deal with, a lot also have joint issues and other problems that the new facility will be able to handle along with the adjoining hotel.

And CFH is putting up a stand-alone ED nearby and has land under contract for a new hospital. Even without the new hospital the Leesburg hospital is about the same distance from the the southern end of the Villages as The Villages Hospital is... so cardiac emergencies in the southern part of the Villages will be nearer to an ER than they are now.

Although it will take some time it looks like medical facilities in the southern end of the Villages will be improved a lot.
