Diversified Healthcare Trust (NASDAQ:DHC) (NASDAQ: DHC) is a real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership and management of healthcare properties across the United States. The company focuses on acquiring, developing, and leasing facilities that serve the full continuum of care, including medical office buildings, outpatient clinics, senior housing communities, and life science properties. DHC’s assets are typically leased to leading healthcare operators under long-term, triple-net leases, providing predictable cash flow and minimal operational responsibilities.
As of its most recent portfolio expansion, Diversified Healthcare Trust owns and operates over 700 properties totaling more than 40 million square feet of space, serving patients and residents in over 30 states. The company’s geographic diversity spans major metropolitan areas and fast-growing suburban markets, enabling it to partner with a wide range of healthcare providers—from regional hospital systems to specialized physician groups and senior care operators.
Diversified Healthcare Trust maintains a disciplined growth strategy that combines strategic acquisitions, sale-leaseback transactions, and targeted development activities to enhance its asset base. The company leverages its in-house asset-management platform to optimize property performance, advance value-add initiatives, and strengthen relationships with tenants. Its focus on facilities that address demographic trends—such as an aging population and the shift toward outpatient care—positions it for long-term, sustainable growth.
Formed through the merger of two leading healthcare REITs in early 2022, Diversified Healthcare Trust traces its roots to a series of spin-offs and industry transformations dating back to 2013. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the company is overseen by a seasoned management team and board of directors with deep expertise in healthcare real estate, investment management, and operations, guiding its mission to deliver stable returns and support the delivery of quality care.
