Officials from the concerned healthcare organizations believe the over-saturation of providers in the Orlando area could drive up healthcare costs, according to the report.

The proposed teaching hospital, not part of the original UCF partnership with Orlando Health and Florida Hospital, would serve nearly 500 students.
