Here are three things to know about the rating action and Good Samaritan’s outlook.

1. The rating action affects $61.6 million of outstanding bonds.

3. Good Samaritan’s outlook is stable, which reflects Moody’s opinion “that bondholder risk has been materially mitigated by Good Samaritan’s affiliation with WellSpan.”
