    of The Villages, which is included in the Orlando-Deltona-Daytona Beach, FL Combined
    Statistical Area as well.

          Excellent health care…
                        Close to home.
           Having good health overall is a major key to a long and healthy life. Finding ways to
         take care of your health can aid in recovery and help you feel better daily. Get routine
         check-ups and visit your doctor when you're not feeling well. Sometimes, it is hard to
         tell whether not feeling well is due to a side-effect of medicine, a symptom of a health
         disorder or any other different health problem. Talk to your doctor or other health care
         specialist for any other questions or information.
