We've all seen more than enough to say:
This hospital needs the entire top and middle level administration ousted and replaced with people who have run hospitals effectively in other large cities over 100,000. Tweeking this thing is going nowhere, and the developer's clout and managerial insight are needed.
There. I said it.
To Gary Morse, Mark Morse, and Jennifer Parr:
Are you listening? You need to speak with front-line doctors (as in ER), NOT administrative ones that "manage" by having one meeting after another, playing political games.

You make it sound like the Morse's have been sitting on their hands, letting market forces dictate the quality of healthcare in The Villages.
There's a reason, I think, why the developer chose to create The Villages Health System and is in the process of recruiting and hiring 64 new, board certified primary care physicians. The eight offices he's building are over-the-top first class, by the looks of the new Colony Cottage office. Much if the developer's action and investment to improve healthcare in our community follows recommendations made by a top notch medical consulting firm that the developer hired and paid for. The success in attracting the Moffitt Cancer Center and the affiliation with the University of South Florida medical school was no accident.
My guess is that healthcare in TV and the hospital are on their way towards dramatic improvement. It may take some time, a few years probably. After all, we keep adding to the population to the tune of about 5,000 people per year. Then there's the problem caused by the influx of people during "the season". It might be awhile before all these problems of quality and capacity are resolved. It won't be easy.
