In addition, Fitch assigned its “A-” issuer default rating to CMH.

The upgrade and affirmation are a result of several factors, including CMH’s leading market position, solid patient volume growth, robust operating margins and strong liquidity position. Additionally, Fitch positively viewed CMH’s clinical affiliation with Portland-based Oregon Health and Sciences University.

The outlook is stable.
