Moody's downgrades Lafayette General Medical Center's rating

Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Lafayette (La.) General Medical Center's rating to "Baa1" from "A3" and assigned a "Baa1" rating to its proposed $101 million of series 2016A and 2016B revenue bonds.

The rating downgrade is based on several factors, including LGHS' balance sheet metrics that are no longer appropriate for the "A3" rating.

The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody's expectation that its new capacity and management initiatives will enable LGHS to generate adequate cash flow to improve balance sheet metrics.
