S&P Global Ratings has revised the rating outlook for 39 hospitals to negative from stable due to the financial hit caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The affected hospitals have speculative-grade ratings or have about 100 days' cash on hand or less, S&P said.
A negative outlook reflects S&P's view that there is a 33 percent chance that operating and economic conditions will worsen to a degree that will cause a rating downgrade.
