Moody’s also revised the system’s outlook to stable from positive.

The outlook revision and rating affirmation were based on a number of factors, including SJHS’ poorer-than-expected operating performance over the last several years.

The system’s challenges are somewhat offset by its large revenue base and strong market position, which Moody’s considered for the outlook revision.
