Bangkok--19 Aug--Standard & Poor's
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services corrected and withdrew the short-term component of its rating on Washington Health Care Facilities Authority's (Catholic Health Initiatives) hospital variable-rate demand obligations series 2002B to 'AA/NR' from 'AA/A-1+'. We inadvertently did not remove the short-term component of the rating when the liquidity facility provided by JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. expired. The long-term component of the rating is based on Catholic Health Initiatives (AA/Stable)
