Jazuela. I think you should wait to move here and live here for awhile until you totally understand how this place works and doesn't work. You cannot depend on posters on a public forum for accuracy or depth of understanding. Patience, grasshopper.

Yes, and there are urgent care units sprinkled in TV, which are like walk-in clinics from what I understand. Very happy to have those!

Do you really think 20+thousand people would chose to live here if the medical facilities were so bad? We are surrounded with excellent hospitals, i.e. Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Gainesville ......... take your pick. I am going to be extremely rude and suggest if this subject bothers you this much, this is really not where you want to live.

As such - the hospital can no longer sustain the population, because there are more people needing to be sustained than when it was built. |

Regardless of who owns it, its ratings are abysmal. Regardless of who runs it, its ratings are abysmal. Regardless of whether I live near it or not, its ratings are abysmal. I'm not talking about posts I read on the internet. I'm talking about actual facts, according to actual government and medical organization checks and balances and data provided by that actual hospital to those organizations that exist to come up with these statistics. I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand. |

A number of off topic and personally directed posts have been removed. Again, please stay on the topic of the ER and avoid making statements directed at other members.

I don't think using the size of the hospital when it was built in 2002 is a way to estimate how well it covers the service needs of the Villages and the surrounding area today.
First of all there have been a number of expansions to the hospital, the last was an increased number of ER rooms and previous to that rooms were added to the hospital itself. It is now about three times the size it was in 2002. Both an ER and a "bedless"hospital are being added to Brownwood. Each of these will reduce some of the load on the Villages Hospital. Central Florida Health has said it has enough land in the Brownwood area to build another hospital though they have not made any commitments to yet. A number of emergent care facilities and an Emergency Room (in Summerfield) have been added to the Villages area since 2002. A number of the medical practices in the area have added same day appointments for various illnesses and medical problems since he hospital was built. So medical facilities have been being added over time to keep up with the growth of the Villages and the surrounding area. One of the issues with adding medical facilities like hospitals and emergency rooms is that there is a political component to it (not just here but anywhere). Other medical facilities in the area will claim that they are already serving the needs of the area and adding a new one might impact the services they provide... which can prevent a new facility from getting the certificates and licenses needed even if the have all the financial backing needed to go ahead. |
