The rating affirmation and outlook upgrade were based on a number of factors, including the hospital’s improved financial operations, which are expected to remain stable in the near term.

The rating affirmation is also supported by the hospital district’s large and diverse tax base, strong local economy, above average wealth levels and moderate debt burden with significant near-term capital needs, according to Moody’s.
