title: Hospital borrows from position of strength.
abstract: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is nearly debt-free and able to finance much of its own replacement and equipment needs. But rather than avoid debt obligations, it's taking on more than $200 million in new borrowing that capitalizes on the hospital's flush financial profile. Its strong balance sheet and credit ratings will keep capital infusion costs low.
