Dartmouth-Hitchcock Obligated Group is part of the parent organization Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health.
“The CreditWatch placement reflects our view of Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s recent release of unaudited fourth quarter financial statements (period ended June 30, 2016), which included a significant operating loss compared to our expectations for the fiscal year,” said S&P analyst Jennifer Soule.
“It also reflects the unexpected departure of Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s CFO and uncertainties about the system’s ability to re-stabilize its financial performance in fiscal 2017 following financial challenges it experienced implementing a new billing system during fiscal 2016,” Ms. Soule added.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock named Daniel Jantzen CFO in July. He replaced Robin Kilfeather-Mackey.
