Fitch Ratings affirmed its "A" rating on Conway (S.C.) Medical Center's series 2007 and series 2016 revenue bonds.
Concurrently, Fitch assigned the medical center an issuer default rating of "A."
The affirmation and assignment are a result of several factors, including the medical center's leading market position, improving payer mix, manageable capital needs and strong leverage position. Fitch also acknowledged the medical center's compressed margins as a result of an IT overhaul.
The outlook is stable.
