Unless the information I've found on the Leesburg Regional Medical Center's website is obsolete or changed, I found that my Villages Health System doctor, Karla Noel, MD has privileges at both The Villages Hospital and at Leesburg. It sounds reasonable that doctors could have privileges at Leesburg since both The Villages and Leesburg fall under the same organization, The Central Florida Health Alliance.

Also, I only found Dr. Noel and one other doctor listed at the site, but I think that the information needs to be updated and that there may well be more with privileges that need to be added.

See Dr. Noel's privileges indicated here: Dr. Karla Noel

To check about your physician's privilege status, call our their Physician Referral Service available 24/7:
Leesburg: (352) 323-1000
The Villages: (352) 751-8585
Toll-free: (800) 889-3755
