A joint venture via a remote emergency room has no apparent logic what so ever.

From the VHA Voice, December 2018:
Central Florida Health and the University of Florida Shands Hospital System entered into an affiliation agreement in January 2018 to collaborate on new health initiatives. They continue to define the relationship. But some of the initial initiatives are as follows:
- Better coordination of care for patients from our local community who have complex medical problems that TVRH doesn't typically treat.
- Creation of a future internal medicine residency program to train primary care physicians to serve The Villages community.
- Collaboration on Joint Ventures which will include the new Brownwood freestanding ED (groundbreaking early 2019) and discussions about building a future third CFH hospital in the southern part of The Villages.
