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."
Thank you. I was not aware that the buildings and real estate were sold to the hospital corporation that ran it.

I still have to say that compared to large teaching hospitals like The Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Anderson Cancer Center, Boston Children's, and Massachusetts General our hospital is smallish.
