216.310 Purpose of law. This legislation is designed to permit a county to form a hospital district or two (2) or <br>more counties to join together in the formation of a hospital district in order to provide a <br>broader basis for local support of hospitals and related health facilities including <br>supportive services and the training and education of health personnel. The General <br>Assembly recognizes that hospitals can be more effective if they are of sufficient scope to <br>marshal the skills and manpower necessary to provide the advantages of modern medicine <br>and that the development of high-speed highways makes possible accessibility to such <br>modern hospitals permitting service to a larger geographical area. It is the intent of KRS <br>216.310 to 216.360 to provide for the integration of the complex functions of health and <br>hospital care for the collective benefit of all the people within an area by providing a <br>method to extend the geographical territory to larger regions. Effective: June 13, 1968 <br>History: Created 1968 Ky. Acts ch. 176, sec. 1, effective June 13, 1968.
