The meeting was very informative, explaining how both Leesburg and The Villages Hospital will have a Moffitt Center with the same equipment and how each will raise the money, independently. They also explained, if the Villages Hospital didn’t have the money for the Moffitt equipment by the time the building was ready, they would use money from a fund to build the Brownwood Hospital which could delay that project. Either way it would open on schedule. It was also explained the equipment would belong to The Villages Hospital, not Moffitt. The equipment that Leesburg raised money for and purchased would belong to Leesburg, not Moffitt.

I stopped by the office at Sumter without an appointment and was able to spend time asking Pete Wahl questions about the Moffitt. He was easy to talk with and willing to address any issue I had.

Thank you. So helpful...as usual.
