Lee County and Lee Health posted the latest draft mission agreement framing Lee Health’s proposed conversion from a public nonprofit to a private nonprofit business structure. 

The 2023 legislative enabling act that made the conversion process possible requires at least a 45-day period for public review of the document and supporting materials prior to a final vote by the county commission, which is expected to take place Oct. 11. 

At their regular meeting Aug. 20, Lee County commissioners voted to publish the latest draft of the agreement on the county website. On Aug. 21, in a special meeting, the Lee Health board of directors followed suit, reviewing the draft and voting unanimously to post it on leehealth.org.
