Hospitals face bond market access as aging facilities strain funds
West Virginia health officials warn not-for-profit hospitals face a negative credit outlook amid rising borrowing costs and reduced access to bonds. Princeton Community Hospital issued 40 million in 1999 with a BAA2 rating at 6 percent over 30 years. Moody's analyst Beth Wexler cites Balanced Budget Act pressures, payer battles, and higher costs as short term risks, while long term stability depends on core operations and mergers. Steven Summer notes many rural hospitals may lose bond market access for renovations and tech upgrades.
