S&P has revised the outlook to stable from negative on Chillicothe, Ohio-based Adena Health System's revenue debt.
The outlook revision is based on several factors, including S&P's expectation that Adena's expense management efforts, physician recruitment and management plans will help it improve operating results closer to historic levels.
S&P also affirmed the "A-" long-term rating and underlying rating on the system's debt.
