Moody's Investors Service affirmed its "A2" rating on Middleburg Heights, Ohio-based Southwest General Health Center, affecting about $153 million of debt.
The affirmation is a result of several factors, including the health center's leading market position, long-standing partnership with Cleveland-based University Hospitals, healthy liquidity and strong operating cash flow.
The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody's expectation that the health center will maintain strong cash flow margins to improve leverage.
