The
Hospital Division provides a wide range of legal
services to the Tarrant County Hospital District, a
local governmental
entity
created primarily to provide medical and hospital
services to needy residents of Tarrant County. The
size of the Division changes depending on the needs
of the Hospital District. Currently, two attorneys
and two support staff operate the actual Hospital
Division of the Criminal District Attorney's office.
A number of attorneys in the Civil Division of the
office also provide substantial legal services to
the Hospital District.
The
Hospital District Division provides representation
to the hospital district in several areas, including
medical malpractice litigation, jail related
litigation, risk management issues, collections,
lien enforcement, drafting and review of contracts,
informed consent issues and issues regarding organ
donation and tissue procurement, as well as the
Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act.
