Sec. 20. The board may not operate the hospital for profit, but shall attempt to make the revenues from patients and other income equal the expense of operation, maintenance, and equipment if practicable. The board may admit and care for the number of patients who are in need of hospitalization and are unable to pay for the hospitalization in whole or in part as the facilities of the hospital will permit. The board may reduce the rates to be charged for these patients or admit these patients without charge.
