This was 10 years ago and the compensation package was more than competitive for this area. It has kept up with inflation, and there are other incentives that I'm not at liberty to discuss. .


The Villages is a challenging location for recruitment of physicians. ..Yesterday's was from the Tampa area, offered a 4 day work week, limited patient schedule, no "on call" responsibilities, 6 weeks vacation, and a compensation package of about $500,000/year. There is no way TVH can compete with that.

.
Remember the game to find out which one doesn't belong?
So which is it?

Either TVH has a highly competitive pay and incentive package similar to other offers in Florida...

Or

There is no way it can compete with the package being offered elsewhere in addition to the disadvantages of this being isolated and old people.
