TVRH is the worst rated hospital within 75 miles. I had a well-known primary care doctor tell me that if circumstances resulted in me waking up to find myself in TVRH, that I should call a cab and get out of there ASAP.
UF has announced that they intend to make TVRH a teaching hospital, bringing in 15 new residents every year beginning in 2024. Obviously, if there are residents, there has to be experienced doctors to teach them. The reason the program doesn’t begin until ‘24 is to give UF the time for an aggressive nationwide recruiting program to bring lots of high quality, experienced doctors into TVRH.
Their plan is based on statistics indicating that more than half of residents choose to practice in the state in which they did their residencies. They’re hoping that by offering residencies here, some of the residents will “stick” and choose to practice here. The plan better work out the whole idea of building a large teaching hospital in the south end of The Villages can’t work.
