PHP either owns the properties outright or holds long-term leases on the facilities and generates revenue and capital growth through rental income. PHP’s portfolio of 130 properties is 100 percent leased (average lease term is 17.3 years), the majority to general practitioners, pharmacies, dentists and other associated healthcare professionals. The Company’s dividend represented a yield of 6.0% at the end of 2009.
