title: Switching horses midstream.
abstract: When seeking debt financing, a hospital should monitor elements affecting its credit profile and ability to access capital throughout the financing. Hospitals should monitor backup borrowing options. Internal and external factors affect the perception of a hospital as a borrower, and midfinancing changes to either can open and close doors to lower-cost capital.
