The rating affirmation was supported by a number of factors, including SCLHS’ sustained, consistent operating performance since 2011. The health system has produced a 2 percent operating margin and 12 percent operating EBITDA margin through the six month interim period ended June 30.

 

SCLHS’ stead balance sheet, growing unrestricted liquidity, diverse revenue base and near completion of the health system’s Saint Joseph facility were also supporting factors of the rating.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
