Moody's rates North Shore-LIJ's bonds

Moody's Investors Service has assigned an "A3" rating to Great Neck, N.Y.-based North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System's proposed series 2015A revenue bonds to be issued through the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York.

The rating assignment was based on a number of factors, including North Shore-LIJ's significant size and strong and growing market share.

The system also faces some challenges, which were considered for the rating assignment, including integration of several acquisitions.

North Shore-LIJ's outlook is stable, which "reflects the system's modest leverage, successful history of hospital integration, and modest ramp up at the insurance division," according to Moody's.
