Fitch affirms 'BB' rating on LifePoint Health

Fitch Ratings affirmed its "BB" issuer default rating on Brentwood, Tenn.-based LifePoint Health.

The affirmation is a result of several factors, including the health system's strong balance sheet metrics and recent hospital acquisitions. Fitch also acknowledged Lifepoint Health's increasingly competitive market, patient volume erosion and the potential for a weaker payer mix with an ACA replacement.

The outlook is stable.
