I do not think that answers his question and I don’t totally agree with you. Both my wife and I have had horrible experiences at that hospital. Six hour waits at the emergency room, doctors that are rude etc. one thing they could do is If the hospital could get linked in with a quality university medical school and become a teaching hospital it might improve greatly. Several years ago, I had to have a cardiac procedure and my cardiologist who is on staff at both The Villages hospital and at Leesburg hospital strongly recommend I go to Leesburg. He said they had much better equipment, and staff there than in The Villages. It’s ok for anything minor bot if you have to have something serious done go somewhere else. This is from a doctor on staff at that hospital.
