Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has revised the outlook to positive from stable on Detroit-based Henry Ford Health System.
S&P also affirmed the "A-" long-term rating on HFHS's $366.59 million of series 2006A bonds and $303.43 million of series 2009 bonds.
"HFHS has seen a significant turnaround in fiscal 2015 (audited results through Dec. 31, 2015), which management attributes to stable patient volumes and significant progress on its 'Strength and Sustainability' plan to reduce costs and improve value," said S&P credit analyst J. Kevin Holloran.
"The positive outlook reflects our view that during the outlook period, HFHS will continue to build on recently improved operations, and that the associated cash flow will enable it to bolster key balance sheet metrics," Mr. Holloran added.
