Default Moffitt Cancer Center - Tampa and The Vilalges.

Moffitt Cancer, third largest cancer in the nation in terms of patient volume, has established a satellite facility here in The Villages.

My wife went into Moffitt with a 28% survival prognosis and lived well beyond the 5 year time that most serious cancers are judge by. I lost her some years later to leukemia. I have also had cancer surgery at Moffitt and continue to be monitored periodically since my surgery several years ago.

Our experience was at the Tampa Hospital so I cannot comment on the satellite in The Villages.

With the Medicare changes caused by Obamacare you would have to contact them to find out the extent of current coverage. They would also be able to tell you whether or not they deal with your secondary coverage.

Moffitt is a research facility and a teaching hospital. I found the people we interacted with to be friendly, cordial and compassionate.

If my closest friend or a family member had a cancer issue I would urge them to seek care at Moffitt.
