S&P upgrades Freeman Health System's rating to 'A'

S&P Global Ratings upgraded the rating to "A" from "A-" on Joplin, Mo.-based Freeman Health System's series 2011 and series 2015 bonds.

Concurrently, S&P raised its underlying rating on Freeman Health's series 1999B and 1999C bonds to "A" from "A-."

"We raised the rating based on Freeman's credit quality, given its steady balance sheet improvement and robust operating performance exhibited in recent years," said S&P credit analyst Patrick Zagar.

S&P also acknowledged Freeman Health System's light cash on hand levels.

The outlook is stable.
