A quote from Michael Gallis about the current state of healthcare in Central Florida:
"Rapidly growing economic and population centers have a dramatic affect on healthcare, as will global connectivity. Enormous strides are being made in the healthcare industry and the competition is becoming more complex. Two of the three largest hospital groups in Florida are located in Orlando. Medical schools appear nicely spaced throughout Florida, but do not necessarily match population densities."
Here’s what some concerned residents had to say:
"Quality of care, access to care – including uninsured and tourists – and dealing with unhealthy populations should be areas of focus."
"Healthcare institutions in the region need to be globally competitive."
"Who will be left behind as the region moves forward?"
"Where is individual responsibility for healthcare and prevention?"
"Healthcare institutions need to collaborate rather than compete."
