The rating assignment is based on SCHS’ generally solid operating performance, improved liquidity and commanding market position.

The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody’s Investors Service’s expectation that SCHS’ balance sheet measures will remain stable and that its operating performance will grow stronger despite a modest dip related to an EMR installation.
