The rating affirmation is based on several factors, including UH’s position as a large system in the Cleveland area and its consistent operating margins.

These strengths are offset by several challenges, including balance sheet leverage and the presence of a prominent competitor.

The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody’s expectation that UH will continue to generate adequate margins.
