The Street.com published an article about Healthcare Trust of America and the medical office sector.

The article says that healthcare trends in the U.S. have created hot demand for medical-office space, and this bodes well for Healthcare Trust of America.

Because of shifting consumer preferences and limited hospital space, more and more healthcare procedures that traditionally have been performed in hospitals — such as surgery — are now being done at outpatient facilities.

What’s more demand for medical-office space is only likely to accelerate in coming years.
