The affirmation is a result of several factors, including the hospital’s solid operating performance, improved liquidity and healthy market position. Moody’s unfavorably viewed the hospital’s weaker balance sheet, high debt metrics and a challenging service area.

The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody’s expectation that performance measures will remain solid as balance sheet and debt metrics improve.
