Recently, Fitch Ratings affirmed the "AA-" long-term ratings on Allina Health's $660.8 million of outstanding debt. Fitch analysts said the health system's main credit strength was its "comprehensive delivery model and geographic reach in the Twin Cities metropolitan area," which has led to strong financial results the past five years.
