Typically just own the assets and then lease to physicians, hospitals and healthcare delivery systems. Each REIT may/could be different. For example here is how they define DOC:
Physicians Realty Trust is a REIT. It is a self-managed healthcare real estate company engaged in acquiring, developing, owning and managing healthcare properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals and healthcare delivery systems. The Company's principal investments will include medical office buildings, outpatient treatment facilities, acute and post-acute care hospitals, as well as other real estate integral to healthcare providers. Physicians Realty Trust is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here is the def for OHI:
Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Maryland. It is a self-administered real estate investment trust (`REIT`), investing in income producing healthcare facilities, principally long-term care facilities located in the United States (`U.S.`) and the United Kingdom (`U.K.`). The Company provide lease or mortgage financing to qualified operators of skilled nursing facilities (`SNFs`) and, to a lesser extent, assisted living facilities (`ALFs`), independent living facilities and rehabilitation and acute care facilities. It has historically financed investments through borrowings under its revolving credit facilities, private placements or public offerings of its debt and equity securities, the assumption of secured indebtedness, retention of cash flow, or a combination of these methods. You need to look at the specific companies. That link does provide a list of Medical REITs so one could start there. |
