S&P Global Ratings has assigned an "AA-" long-term rating to Portland, Ore.-based Legacy Health's $279 million of series 2016A bonds.
"The ratings reflect our view of Legacy's very strong enterprise and financial profiles, with a solid share of the competitive Portland market and initiatives to operate under the changes associated with health reform, as well as its strong operating results and robust debt service coverage and improved balance sheet," said S&P analyst Allison Bretz.
The outlook is stable.
