Strode Quoted on Health Care Interest Rates

Partner Roger Strode was quoted in a Modern Healthcare article, “Providers Keep Borrowing while the Borrowing’s Good, Fearing Higher Rates,” on December 26, 2014. The article discussed the push providers are making to secure low interest rates for health care lending. Strode explained the trend for not-for-profit health systems to focus on refinancing in the fourth quarter. He was quoted saying, “I think there’s a rush in anticipation because money is cheap. [Even with early payoff fees] it’s worth doing because the interest rates are so low.”
