Default What's The Difference Between TVHS And TVRH?
I thought that TVRH was the hospital, which is owned by the Central Florida Health Alliance. The new Villages Health System is the new collection of eight large primary care offices being built in The Villages.

I'm not totally certain, but I don't think TVHS is owned by the hospital or Central Florida Health Alliance. For the moment, isn't TVHS owned by either the developer or the developer and the doctors who choose to join TVHS? For sure the developer owns the beautiful offices they will occupy. (Have you been inside the newly opened TVHS office at Colony Cottage? Wow! Double wow!)

So who's signed up with United Healthcare? TVRH or TVHS? From all that was announced about the new "Marcus Welby" approach by TVHS, the suggestion was that it will eventually be owned and operated much like The Mayo Clinic, The Cleveland Clinic, and other such organizations that do not practice fee for service medicine.

Am I missing something?
