We were there several weeks ago when my husband had chest pains. The care as exceptional. When my husband needed to be admitted I requested The Villages Hospital because I didn't want to drive back and forth to Ocala. I was told that they would try The Villages Hospital but normally they aren't very receptive to admissions from the Summerfield ER. My husband has United Health Care and there was no problem with it.

Too bad there's not a couple more facilities like this one in our community to take up the slack. By the way...an ER is for just that emergency purposes. There are "some" folks that don't quite get that, but then this would be beating a dead horse as it's been discussed on social media ad nauseum.

We've used TVRH and it's ER. We've had excellent care but the ER could use A LOt of improvement.
