The long-term rating assignments are based on several factors, including ProMedica’s strong inpatient market share, improving operating margins and favorable payer mix.

In addition, although the transaction weakened ProMedica’s balance sheet, Fitch expects the metrics to return to historical levels.
The outlook is stable.
