The Lee County Trauma Services District was created
as an independent special district pursuant to chapter 189, Florida
Statutes, by the 2003 Florida Legislature. The purpose
was to financially support the provision of trauma services in Lee
County, including the comprehensive emergency medical services for
victims of trauma and trauma-related injuries provided by the State
of Florida Level II Trauma Center operated by Lee Memorial Health
System (LMHS). The District's enabling legislation establishes its
governing board, officers, and meeting requirements, while also
prescribing its
powers and duties.
Pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 163.01, Florida
Statutes, the District has entered into an interlocal agreement with
LMHS which sets forth the specific terms by which the District and
LMHS intend to provide for the continuing efficient and effective
operation of the Lee Memorial Trauma Center.
As a public, not-for-profit healthcare system, Lee Memorial
Health System is owned by the citizens of Lee County, Florida and operates under the direction of a publicly elected, 10-member board of directors. The
LMHS Board also serves as the
board of directors for the Lee County Trauma Services District. THE LEE COUNTY TRAUMA SERVICES
