The rating affirmation is based on several factors, including TCH’s solid operating cash-flow margins and a solid market position in high acuity services.

TCH also faces several challenges, including a leveraged balance sheet, moderate investment position and operating in a competitive market.

The rating outlook is stable, reflecting Moody’s expectation that TCH will maintain operating cash flow margins and begin to de-leverage as capital spending moderates and investments grow.
