It has been my general practice to be treated at Urgent Care offices. On one occasion the doctor identified a life threatening condition and I was immediately transferred to the hospital.
If someone's condition is not urgently life threatening, excellent medical attention is available at various specialty hospitals in Tampa, which is an hour and a half drive south of The Villages, and in the highly regarded Shands Hospital in Gainesville, just over an hours drive north of The Villages.

If you live in TV south of Hillsborough Trail, Leesburg Regional is closer. Head east on SR44, no roundabouts.
