加州机构批准最高19亿美元医院债券，惠及 Loma Linda University Health 三个院区
据 Bloomberg 报道，加州全州社区发展局（California Statewide Communities Development Authority）10月15日会议表决批准发行最高19亿美元市政债券，为 Loma Linda University Health 在南加州运营的医院网络再融资并投入设施改善。债券为免税债券，资金将用于偿还现有债务，并为三个医院院区的建设、翻修与设备付款，其中最高约1.33亿美元用于日常资本支出。
非营利医院可通过市政债券发行机构融资，因联邦税法允许符合条件的慈善组织使用免税融资。Loma Linda University Health 总部位于 San Bernardino County 的 Loma Linda，是该地区主要的学术医疗系统之一。
California Agency Approves Up to $1.9 Billion Hospital Bond for Loma Linda University Health
The California Statewide Communities Development Authority voted at its Oct. 15 meeting to approve issuing as much as $1.9 billion in municipal bonds to refinance debt and fund improvements at the Southern California hospital network operated by Loma Linda University Health, according to Bloomberg. The tax-exempt bonds would refinance existing debt and pay for construction, renovations and equipment at three hospital campuses, with as much as $133 million toward routine capital costs.
Nonprofit hospitals can borrow through municipal bond issuers because federal tax law allows tax-exempt financing for qualifying charitable organizations. Loma Linda University Health, based in Loma Linda in San Bernardino County, is one of the region's major academic health systems.
