No population area or unit of this state shall be without health services responsive to its needs. Because it is recognized that all counties are not equally able to effectuate this policy, a county board of health may contract for assistance in the performance of its functions and exercise of its powers, provided that such proposed contract and any amendments thereto shall have first been approved by the department.
