Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the "B1" bond rating assigned to the series 1991 fixed rate revenue bonds issued on behalf of Good Samaritan Hospital — a nonprofit, community hospital providing tertiary services located in downtown Los Angeles.
The rating affirmation was supported by a number of factors, including the hospital's adequate liquidity.
Good Samaritan Hospital also faces a number of challenges, which were considered for the rating affirmation, such as experiencing poor operating performance and having a poor payer mix.
The hospital's outlook is stable.
