Additionally, Moody’s affirmed the “A2” rating on Fairview Health’s $863 million of outstanding debt.

The assignment is a result of several factors, including Fairview’s solid market position, stable leadership, strong financial management, improved balance sheet measures and affiliation with the University of Minnesota.
