Medical Properties Trust, Inc.

Real estate trust that owns and leases hospital buildings worldwide

What Medical Properties Trust does

Medical Properties Trust owns hospital buildings and rents them to the companies that run the hospitals. It is one of the world's largest owners of hospital real estate, with 378 facilities and about 38,000 licensed beds in nine countries across three continents as of March 31, 2026. Hospital operators can sell their buildings to MPT and lease them back, which frees up cash for upgrades and other investments.

How Medical Properties Trust makes money

MPT collects rent from hospital operators under net leases, where the tenant typically pays the property's operating costs. It grows by buying or financing hospital real estate through acquisitions, recapitalizations and sale-leaseback deals.
