“The upgrade reflects a significant turnaround for HFHS in fiscal 2015, based on audited results through Dec. 31, 2015,” said S&P analyst Kevin Holloran. “Management attributes the notable improvement to stable patient volumes and significant progress on its strength and sustainability plan to reduce costs and improve value.”
The outlook is stable, reflecting S&P’s expectation that throughout the rest of the outlook period, HFHS will sustain and build upon its recently improved operations.
