Title

Jefferson County Commission, urged to contract with private physicians in the county to create an appropriate primary care network

Summary

SR107 urges Jefferson County to contract with private physicians to create a primary care network for indigent residents.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, the resolution asks the Jefferson County Commission to work with private doctors to build a primary care network and to set up a reimbursement system for care provided to indigent residents. It notes existing funding sources and past hospital closures as context and frames the action as a means to ensure ongoing care for the county's poorest residents. It is a non-binding statement of legislative intent, not a new law.

Who It Affects

• Private physicians and hospitals in Jefferson County who would be contracted to provide care and receive reimbursement under a formal process.

Key Provisions
