The December press release stated that a new hospital will be built.

"The Villages® and University of Florida Health announced their intent today to develop a comprehensive health care campus that will offer a full portfolio of education, research, and advanced health care and wellness services for The Villages community, including construction of a new general acute care hospital.

Also, the Florida legislature recently eliminated the requirement for a CON, Certificate of Need. In other words, the submission and review of a CON is no longer required before building a new hospital.
