Fitch Ratings has affirmed its "BB+" rating on Denver-based National Jewish Health's following bonds, issued by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority:
- $21.1 million of series 2012 fixed rate bonds
- $10.3 million of series 2005 variable rate demand bonds
Moody's revised the outlook to positive from stable.
The outlook revision is based on several factors, including NJH's dramatically improved operating profitability and leveraging of its specialized services such as pulmonary disease treatment.
