Medical Office Provides Steady Growth While Healthpeak's Life Science Portfolio Recovers
The top healthcare real estate stands to benefit disproportionately from the Affordable Care Act. With an increased focus on higher-quality care being performed in lower-cost settings, the best owners and operators in the industry, which can provide better outcomes while driving greater efficiencies, should see demand funneled to them from the best healthcare systems. Additionally, the baby boomer generation is entering its senior years, and the 80-plus population, an age group that spends more than 4 times as much on healthcare per capita as the national average, should almost double in size over the next 10 years. In the long term, the best healthcare companies are well-positioned to capitalize on these industry tailwinds.
