This part of Central Florida is a medical hodge-podge. Good doctors, a few REALLY good doctors, with mediocre doctors all mixed up and scattered throughout.
In an actual life-or-death emergency, you go to the closest facility that can handle the nature of the emergency. For me, that'd be Spanish Plaines hospital, since they're less than 3 minutes away from my house by car, assuming the traffic light at Morse and 441 is green when you cross 441.
For Urgent Care, I'd probably go to somewhere nearby. As long as they're in-network on my insurance. I use The Villages Health for most of my regular medical needs and all my specialists are either on the Spanish Plains/TVH campus, or within a few blocks of the Historic Section of the community. Even my dentist is nearby (next to Aldi's and golf-cart accessible).
Once I'm old enough for medicare, I'll have to revisit my options. But for emergencies, I'll go to the closest place.
