In the termination notice, federal regulators cited issues with organizational structure, staffing levels, staff responsibilities and failure to meet requirements for a critical access hospital. No further details were released.

The termination notice was rescinded Feb. 14, but the measure has a retroactive effect to Nov. 17, meaning the hospital will be reimbursed for Medicare patients treated at the hospital between Nov. 17 and Feb. 14.
