Proceeds of the series 2015 bonds will partly fund VVMC’s $180 million five-year capital spending plan.

“The ‘A’ rating reflects our assessment of VVMC’s solid business position in a limited market that is very outpatient focused, consistently strong operations and robust pro forma debt service coverage at maximum annual debt service and very strong liquidity,” said Karl Propst, an S&P credit analyst.

The hospital’s credit outlook is stable.
