The 25-bed, 135-year-old hospital was slated to shut down next month after voters rejected a tax increase last November to help finance repairs at the facility.

The agreement will help keep open ambulance services, the emergency department, family medicine, imaging, laboratory, respiratory therapy and inpatient care, according to the report. The surgery department closed in November.

In the meantime, the hospital is working with community leaders to find a long-term solution to keep the hospital open, according to the report.
