Let's set the record straight. The hospital owns its property, not The Villages.

In 2000 The Villages of Lake Sumter Inc. sold to The Villages Tri-County Medical Center Inc. the property where the existing hospital is located. At that time Central Florida Health was the parent company of The Villages Tri-County Medical Center.

In January 2020 Central Florida Health was acquired by University of Florida Health and is now known as UF Health Central Florida. It carries on as the parent company of The Villages Tri-County Medical Center, which remains the owner of the property.

The hospital is now known as UF Health The Villages Hospital. It is a 300-bed facility which, in my opinion, is hardly "a smallish community hospital."
