The ability to access information of a patient hospitalized is a very good thing but it doesn't mean they are both run by the same company.
The Villages Regional Hospital is NOT part of the Villages Health System.
My husband who is a patient at The Villages Health System recently had surgery in a Ocala hospital at the direction of his Villages Health surgeon.

You are missing the point.. Since they share information and support each other in coordination of patient care, THEY ARE PART OF THE SAME SYSTEM. You seem to be focused on the Money aspect. I am focused on the care and needs of the patient.
“The Villages® Regional Hospital shares the same Electronic Medical Record (EMR) with TVH so our team can access your medical history, test results, and treatments at any time. In addition to the TVH team members we have overseeing your care at the hospital, this shared medical record helps with care coordination to ensure the best health outcomes for you”
System - Wikipedia
“A system is a group of interacting or interrelated entities that form a unified whole. A system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.” NOTE: no mention of financial connection!
For me the bottom line is to help the patient first.
