About Us
Healthpeak (NYSE: DOC) is an S&P 500 real estate investment trust that owns, operates, and develops real estate at the intersection of healthcare Discovery and Outpatient Care—“DOC” for short. At DOC, our focus is singular: enabling the people and institutions advancing health to do their best work—whether that’s in an outpatient facility or a cutting-edge research lab.
Founded in 1985, we believe strategy is more than a plan—it’s about prioritizing what truly matters. That’s why we concentrate our efforts on high-quality Outpatient Medical and Lab properties in markets where we have scale, deep relationships, and long-term advantages, while also managing an impactful senior housing portfolio of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (“CCRC”). What sets us apart is how these segments work together to support the full continuum of care.
- In our life science properties, lab professionals are developing life-changing therapeutics, diagnostics, and devices.
- These breakthroughs move into outpatient medical buildings, where medical providers deliver efficient, patient-centered care in convenient settings close to patients’ homes.
- As healthcare needs evolve, our senior housing communities offer tailored living environments that enhance quality of life.
With approximately 700 properties serving more than 30 million patients and visitors each year, we are proud to support the scientists, clinicians, and caregivers shaping the future of medicine. Through this strategic integration, we deliver mission-critical infrastructure that supports every stage of the care journey—from discovery and treatment to long-term support.
Today, 70% of our people directly support our real estate—up from less than 50% two years ago. This shift has strengthened our platform, built our culture, and shaped a leadership team focused on long-term value creation and talent development. Being closer to our assets and tenants allows us to make smarter leasing and capital allocation decisions, which drives better outcomes for our stakeholders.
This kind of impact doesn’t happen by accident—it’s shaped by the culture we’ve built and the people who carry it forward. At Healthpeak, our culture strengthens our strategy, guiding how we invest in our real estate, team, and communities. We are hands-on with every property we own, cultivating relationships with our healthcare partners, visitors, residents, and the communities we call home so that our real estate has a meaningful and long-term impact beyond the bottom line.
Our strategy is grounded in our WE CARE core values, and we prioritize long-term investments—both in our team and our real estate—because we believe that belonging, security, stability, and community build better outcomes. It’s this culture—shared by our team and reflected in the way we partner—that turns strategy into action and creates lasting value for our investors, tenants, and communities alike.
Call it strategy, call it culture. We just call it how we work.

Outpatient Medical
We own and develop efficient buildings for a wide variety of outpatient healthcare services. The vast majority of our properties are located on the campuses of the #1 or #2 hospital in the local market, so our tenants are well positioned to deliver convenient care. Our properties attract physician specialists who need to be in close proximity to the hospital, which results in stable occupancy and consistent growth.
