Anybody see in today's news that "Florida Hospital" is acquiring Munroe Regional Medical Center, in Ocala? Funny that they skipped right over THE VILLAGES REGIONAL HOSPITAL. I'm going to guess we are not up to their standards.
Florida Hospital to acquire Ocala hospital - Orlando Sentinel
I believe your guess is wrong. I feel it simply shows a bias against TVRH.

Did you comprehend the article your linked to?

Munroe Regional Medical Center is owned by the Marion County Hospital District. Because of financial reasons, in 2014 the hospital district leased the facility to Community Health Systems (CHS) in a 40-year agreement.

CHS has its own financial problems. Consequently, they have been laying off corporate staff and selling hospitals they own.

"I'm going to guess" CHS negotiated with the hospital district for an early lease termination. Facing the possibility of closing the doors, the hospital district negotiated a lease with a new partner, Florida Hospital.

Follow the money ... TVRH has no need or desire to lease out its facilities in Lady lake or Leesburg.
