Would definitely not recommend moving from The Villages for better health selections. We have some real good Urgent Care facilities if you do your home work. We are 2 hours and 30 minutes from one of the best clinics in the US mainly Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. It is an easy drive through the Ocala Forest. If there is a serious emergency like heart then Leesburg Hospital is within a reasonable time frame as a "just in case". With some very hard home work there are some good medical doctors in the villages but you have to study the population to make sure you get a good personal physician. Having said all of this I believe no one should move from our terrific homes to lesser places to live. BUT, spend as much time setting up a good medical plan as you would picking out a new car!!
