The Villages is not a trauma hospital so auto accidents are not taken there. Besides a paramedic does not make the decision how serious an injured person is, so they are all treated as possibly serious and taken to a trauma hospital.

Last Wednesday I got a bad burn from a cooking fire. We went to The Villages hospital and I was treated very well with only a 10-20 minute or so wait. If only this sucker would heal as fast!
