In addition, Fitch assigned Halifax Health an issuer default rating of “A-.”

The upgrade and assignment are a result of several factors, including the health system’s healthy operational performance, strong market position and tax revenue base. Fitch also acknowledged Halifax Health’s upcoming capital project and increased debt burden.

The outlook is stable.
