S&P has revised the outlook to positive and affirmed the "BBB+" long-term rating on Jackson, Wyo.-based St. John's Medical Center's series 2011B hospital revenue bonds.
"The outlook revision reflects our view that, with continued revenue growth, sound operating results and balance sheet metrics that remain generally aligned with comparable 'A-' rated hospitals, we could upgrade SJMC within the two-year outlook period," said S&P credit analyst Allison Bretz.
