  • $86 million of series 2017C revenue bonds

The rating affirmations are based on a number of factors, including the cancer center’s national standing as a leading research institute, strong unrestricted liquidity and strong fundraising capabilities.

The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody’s Investors Service’s expectation the cancer center will improve its liquidity supporting debt and operations, its growing research activity and positive operating cash flow generation for adequate debt service.
