Fitch Ratings has upgraded the rating to "BBB" from "BBB-" on the following bonds issued by Meadowbrook, Pa.-based Holy Redeemer Health System.
- $30 million of series 2006A bonds
- $46.3 million of series 2014A bonds
The rating outlook is stable.
The rating upgrade and stable outlook are based on a number of factors, including HRHS' coverage of consolidated system debt, strong liquidity position and adequate profitability.
These factors are offset by Fitch's concern over a HRHS' location in a competitive service area and its high exposure to governmental payers.
