If there is no other city or public hospital in the county, the county may appropriate money to aid the hospital for the benefit of the people of the county. The county executive may contract with the governing board of the hospital for the nursing and care of the poor of the county who are sick, injured, or disabled, upon terms that the county officers determine to be just and proper.
