Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the "A1" rating assigned to bonds issued on behalf of Arkansas Children's Hospital, a 342-bed hospital based in Little Rock
The rating affirmation was supported by a number of factors, including the hospital's track record of good operating margins and good liquidity ratios.
ACH faces some challenges, which were considered for the rating affirmation, including being vulnerable to potential government cutbacks, as the hospital is highly dependent on Medicaid and supplemental payment sources.
