He has about $430K in medical bills (no other debts) from recent cancer treatment while uninsured. My credit score is about 700 and I’m concerned that we’ll have a hard time securing credit after we’re married (we would like to buy a house).

Are there any things I can do to mitigate damage to my credit score? Do they always have to look at both partner’s credit when evaluating loan applications? I may be able to qualify for a mortgage with just my income (~$90K). Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
