I think you will find that the facilities in the immediate Villages area, and there are a lot of them as John W posted, are all fine for "routine" issues. For more challenging problems, UoF/Shands in Gainesville, Moffitt in Tampa, and the Mayo Clinic on the southside of Jacksonville are all a reasonable drive away. I don't know how Medicare with Tricare for Life works with regard to those 3 facilities.

Yesterday symptoms increased and we went to the nearby Fort Belvoir Community Hospital ER. It was not crowded and we were seen almost immediately. We received excellent care for 5 hours, getting chest xrays, blood tests, CA scan and urinalysis. We were discharged with some new prescriptions.
QUESTION: how does this compare with the treatment we can expect at The Villages?
