The University of Florida Gainesville has the premier teaching hospital in Central FL, Shands. It is an hour from here north on I-75. UF Health has a department of physician specialists for about every medical specialty which exists. If you want to use it for primary care and do not mind the drive that option is available as well. Through a network of affiliations they can also access other teaching institutions which might have more knowledge about an unusual medical condition. Recently, they referred a problem of mine to the Cleveland Clinic for a consultation. My decision was to buy Supplemental Medicare coverage to maintain my ability to access UF Health for good reason as it turned out. When it comes to your health, you are quite literally " betting the Bank ". Investigate any Advantage Plan and its network of approved providers carefully.
