Annotations: Where a county board has appointed a board of trustees for a county hospital as provided in section 23-3502(1), the county hospital is not merely an agency of the county, but, rather, is a separate and independent political subdivision.

Lack of public notification of special county board meeting to call election upon initiative petition under this section did not invalidate resulting election. Shadbolt v. County of Cherry, 185 Neb. 208, 174 N.W.2d 733 (1970). County board is permitted to issue and sell bonds for construction and acquisition of a county community hospital. Armstrong v.
