The affirmation is a result of several factors, including the health system’s stable operating performance, strong market position in a competitive market, improved liquidity metrics and effective management practices. Fitch also acknowledged the risks associated with the health system’s front-loaded debt structure and upcoming capital spending project to replace its EHR.

The outlook was revised to positive from stable.
