The board of trustees shall be responsible for the operation of all hospitals owned or leased by the city, according to the best interests of the public health and shall make and enforce all rules, regulations and bylaws necessary for the administration, government, protection, and maintenance of hospitals under their management and all property belonging thereto and may prescribe the terms upon which patients may be admitted thereto.
