Services will end at midnight Dec. 31. The system hopes to resume services within 30 days.
Carrus Health beat out a proposal from Bristow Endeavor Healthcare, which currently manages the facility. The system will assume management Jan. 1, but because it does not have a license to operate the facility yet, there will be a gap in services, according to the report.
The system may have to work on some capital projects before restarting operations, pending the results of a state survey. Eventually, a new 25-bed hospital will be built.
