Standard & Poor's has assigned an "AA-" long-term rating to Minneapolis-based Allina Health System's series 2015 revenue bonds.
"The 'AA-' rating reflects our view of Allina Health's leading market position in a competitive service area, its solid pro forma debt service coverage and low pro forma levels," said S&P credit analyst Suzie Desai.
The outlook is stable, reflecting S&P's anticipation that Allina Health will maintain its leading business position in the service area and continue to generate coverage consistent with recent years while making improvements to the balance sheet.
