If the plan is approved, the hospital will be left with five intensive care unit beds, 20 medical beds and 10 beds in its psychiatric unit. Cutting the services will open the hospital to new sources of federal funding.

Malone, N.Y.-based Alice Hyde Medical Center is also applying to become a critical access hospital.
