  • Fitch will monitor Heritage Valley's financials despite rating withdrawal and will provide updates as warranted to maintain market transparency.

Withdrawal follows issuer request

As reported by Fitch Ratings, the agency has withdrawn the 'A+' rating assigned to Heritage Valley Health System, PA, after the organization requested the action under Fitch's standard rating withdrawal procedures.

Regional healthcare operations remain in focus

Although the rating is no longer maintained, Fitch says it remains committed to transparency and will provide updates on the health system's financial performance as necessary.

Fitch’s affirmation of Anaheim’s 'A+' Issuer Default Rating highlighted the city’s financial resilience, supported by reserves expected to remain at or above 17.5% of spending.
