“The rating action reflects the application of our U.S. not-for-profit acute care standalone hospital criteria as well as our view of MCHS’ healthy operating performance, decreasing debt and improving unrestricted reserves,” said S&P credit analyst Suzie Desai.

The outlook is stable, reflecting S&P’s view of MCHS’ robust operating performance and debt service coverage and growth in unrestricted reserves over the past few years.
