Given only four hospitals within between local and Tavares it seems like an opportunity for a few more
That is a decision made by the State of Florida. I would also like to see more scrutiny by the State of Florida over licensing. They licensed a doctor from another State who had a serious drug problem there and was sanctioned.

I think it is time that State Government really cleans up their licensing laws and criteria. Never in my life before moving here did I run across a scammy dentist. They are quite common in Florida.
