it would be helpful to Residents who do read The daily Sun to be informed with all the news. The most recent POA publication provided the research regarding the downgrading of The Villages Hospital falling to a two is pretty serious. Why wasn't this information and supporting data not published in The Daily Sun. We deserve better reporting and better healthcare management.

The Villages, The CDD and the Morse family has NOTHING to do with The Villages Hospital except the Morse family owns the building. They lease it to a hospital corporation.
The Villages Health care system, which is a bunch of buildings housing doctors and their staffs is owned by The Morses.
I don't know about the TVRH downgrade to a two published by the POA. I will go online and read it right now. I never ever heard it was a one. Top level is kept for teaching hospitals associated with medical schools, but this could be something else.
Here is the article you speak of and it makes me wonder if there was a commitment to speak or only an invitation.

It appears to me from a quick reading of the CMS Hospital Star System that a 2.5 is average. Which I would consider a fair evaluation of TVRH.

World Class" is Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Mass General in Boston, Cedars Sinai in LA and Anderson in Houston. The writer of the POA article thought we should have world class here in The Villages. That expectation is unrealistic.
