Is this available for snowbirds with two places of residence?

Is this available for snowbirds with two places of residence?The center is only open M-F so you would have to wait until Monday to call and ask your question. The phone number is 352-674-1700. Alternately there is a contact form that you can use right away at Contact The Villages Health (http://www.thevillageshealth.com/contactus.php)

There are variables that hold me from giving you a solid answer, but I can tell you that you would not be able to join at this time either way, unless you live in one of the following villages: Sanibel, Charlotte, Fernandia, Gilchrest, Hadley, Hemingway or Duval. You could also join if your current doctor in TV (if you have one) has left their practice and joined the villages system.

If you live in another village other than those indicated above, you'll need to wait (if eligible) until the health center is built covering your village. Hopefully you'll get a good answer on Monday when you call or if you use the online form to ask! Good luck and let us know how you made out!
