Sorry, I can see no need for two centers of the exact same kind being built that close together.

Then it all comes down to choice and if I was in the situation of needing care and my doctor recommended Mofitt then I would go to the facility "on property" even though Leesburg may be closer to my house. And I suspect a number of people in TV would probably choose the same.

Having said all of that I do not believe this to be an issue of two facilities close together but an issue of how the funding is being handled. That I do not agree with.
