Standard & Poor's Ratings, Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service have all affirmed the bond ratings they had assigned to Denver-based SCL Health.
Both S&P and Fitch affirmed the "AA-" rating they had assigned to SCL's bonds, and Moody's affirmed the "Aa3" rating it previously assigned.
The rating affirmations were based on a number of factors, including SCL's strong management and operating performance, leading market share in most of its markets and a strong and stable balance sheet.
"At SCL Health we have worked tirelessly to execute on our operational priorities year after year and to thoughtfully pursue strategic partnerships," said Lydia Jumonville, executive vice president and CFO at SCL. "We are pleased to see this consistency and hard work recognized by the ratings agencies."
