Do we need another "cancer center"in TV? Probably not but Moffitt is a brand name, so CFHA probably feels it is profitable to open an affiliate here. After it's all said and done, there will be a Moffitt affiliate in Leesburg, TV and the one already located in Ocala at ORMC. We not only won't have to go to Tampa for treatment but will have 3 Moffitt affiliates within 25 miles to choose from. Not to mention the previously unknown Mayo Clinic affiliate "cancer center" located about a hundred and fifty yards form the soon-to-be Moffitt affiliate. We must be the cancer capital of the world - is it any wonder that health care costs are out of control?
The only negative is the TV Moffitt is the one that requires donations by Villagers for equipment if it's to open here. Oh, I forgot, it was brought out they (CFHA/Developer/Morse) always had the funds for equipment but wanted to keep it for the future Brownwood Hospital, if it is ever built. Shame on the CFHA/Developer/Morse because this information should have been released at the start of the project, not months later. Once you donate to The Village Health System, they can use it as they see fit, whether it be to outfit Moffitt or build a hospital at Brownwood.
