Elliot Hospital Receives Bond Rating Upgrade From Moody’s Investors Service

Hospital's revenue bond rating has been upgraded to A3 from Baa1. Improvement reflects stability of hospital management and expectations for further SolutionHealth synergies.

MANCHESTER, N.H.--()--Elliot Hospital, a founding member of SolutionHealth, has received a bond rating upgrade from Moody's Investors Service. The hospital's revenue bond rating improved to A3 with a stable outlook from Baa1.

“This upgrade reflects our success in demonstrating sound financial performance and debt service coverage, while managing various service investments and growth strategies without compromising fiscal responsibility,” says Mike Turilli, Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Elliot Health System.

Moody’s report highlighted the success of several Elliot Hospital services, including trauma and the neonatal intensive care, and planned expansion projects. The report also noted new synergies that are being realized as a result of the hospital’s affiliation with SolutionHealth and associated collaboration with Southern New Hampshire Health.

“To receive an upgraded bond rating affirms that our strategy to invest in key clinical services, enhance our facilities, and pursue collaborations through SolutionHealth is having a positive impact,” says Greg Baxter, MD, President of Elliot Health System. “This strategy will help us to deliver on our goals to continually improve quality of care, expand access, and lower costs.”
