If they are compensated well enough, the staff will come. The Villages is notorious for poor treatment of employees and a "minimum wage lifestyle". There is just NO MIDDLE Class,just rich and working poor. It's disgusting and the price is being paid by all of us!

HOLD ON just a tad.

The hospital was BUILT by the developer but the operation of the Health System is NOT owned by the developer.

It is owned by the Health Alliance that owns the operation of the Leesburg hospital too.

The Villages hospital is leased to them. http://www.cfhalliance.org/

Could you further explain your comments about "poor treatment of its employees and minimum wage lifestyle?"

Restaurants and other businesses simply lease their facilities from The Developer. All of Florida share a lower wage scale than say...New York city or Los Angeles.
