Yesterday, Moody’s Investors Service assigned an “A2” rating to $45 million of revenue bonds issued to MMC. Analysts said the solid rating assignment reflects the system’s favorable demographics, and Moody’s commended Mr. Peterson and other executives for their “track record of good operating results,” according to the report.
Mr. Peterson has helped boost MMC’s liquidity and profitability. At the end of fiscal year 2012, MMC had 257 days cash on hand and 11.3 percent adjusted operating cash flow margin. MMC is also at the forefront of accountable care organization initiatives, as the hospital and the University of Iowa Health Care in Iowa City announced they would develop an ACO together.
Before joining MMC, Mr. Peterson worked in a variety of roles at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne, Ind., including director of budgeting, corporate controller and vice president of corporate finance.
