KRS 216.943: Legislative findings.

The General Assembly of the Commonwealth finds that access to high-quality health care

services is a concern of all persons; that access to such services is limited for some

residents of the Commonwealth, particularly those residing in remote rural areas o r inner

cities; that physicians and other health care providers have traditionally worked to assure

access to health care services; and that many health care providers from the

Commonwealth and other states are willing to volunteer their services to addres s the

health care needs of Kentuckians who may otherwise not be able to obtain such services.

Therefore, it is the purpose of KRS 216.940 to 216.945 to encourage and facilitate the

charitable provision of health care services within the Commonwealth.
