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."

Yes it IS a "smallish community hospital". I worked in hospitals in Illinois, California and Maryland for many years. One of them was in a city of 50,000 and we had THREE hospitals the size of The Villages Hospital for that population. We are woefully under-served here in The Villages.
