Moody's Investors Service affirmed its long-term "Aa2" rating on Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, affecting $418 million of debt.
The affirmation is a result of several factors, including the health system's dominant market position, academic affiliation with Emory University, favorable cashflow, seasoned management team and strong margins.
The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody's expectation that the health system will maintain its strong operating margins and liquidity position.
