The 25-bed hospital lost its Medicare funding due to concerns over patient care, according to the report. CRH failed to comply with federal regulations during four surveys conducted between Feb. 19, 2014 and March 26, 2015.

The hospital has appealed the matter and is seeking a temporary restraining order in federal court. CRH claims that without Medicare payments the facility will “effectively shut down,” according to the report.
