The rating affirmation was supported by a number of factors, including LGH’s light leverage and its affiliation with other providers, including BethIsraelDeaconessMedicalCenter in Boston.

Although LGH is undertaking a significant capital project, Fitch believes the capital investment through 2019 is “manageable and strategic in nature.”
