The rating assignment was supported by a number of factors, including WellSpan’s integrated business model and leading market position. The system maintains a 60 percent market share in its primary service area.  

The rating assignment was also supported by WellSpan’s manageable debt burden. As of June 30, the system’s long-term debt totaled $468.4 million, with 36 percent of its debt being fixed rate and 64 percent being floating rate.
