If I/husband have a serious medical issue (stroke/shock/heart attack) and an ambulance is called, I was told that we would not be able to request being taken to another hospital but MUST be brought to The Villages Hospital.
Does anyone know if that is correct?
Thank You.

I had a very unpleasant experience at The Villages ER in May 2022. The nurse (not an RN) who first took my vitals was seriously abusive towards me. I reported it to the hospital’s administrator and he seemed indifferent. Secondly, it took them a very long time to discharge me. They said “we’re working on the paperwork.” I was there waiting through an entire shift. Saw new personnel arrive at the nurses desk after 8 hours. Avoid this place.
