Northwest Healthcare Properties REIT


Through supporting international collaborations in the public health space, Northwest Healthcare Properties REIT is helping ensure a healthier future for people around the world.

Northwest Healthcare Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a global real estate investor and asset manager focused on properties and partnerships at the intersection of healthcare, knowledge and research. Northwest’s portfolio spans four continents and prioritizes sustainable energy management in its daily operations. Northwest has generously supported hospitals and health-care charities across Canada, including the North York General Hospital Foundation and the Michael Garron Hospital Foundation in Toronto.

In 2022, Northwest Healthcare made a gift of $5 million to establish the Northwest Healthcare Properties International Policy Network at the Dalla Lana School’s Institute for Pandemics. Directed by a renowned scholar holding the Northwest Healthcare Properties REIT Chair in Comparative Health Policy and Systems, the network leads cross-disciplinary and multinational collaborations to study pandemics, uncover policy insights, train future researchers and help countries mobilize equitable programs to build more resilient health systems.

As an example, the Northwest Network’s partnership with the University of Melbourne School of Population and Global Health is generating insights applicable to both Australia and Canada. The network is also building an advanced research, education and knowledge translation platform with its global academic partners. Ultimately, the Northwest Healthcare Properties International Policy Network aims to support sustainable and high-performing health-care systems all over the world, including the U.S., U.K., Germany and Brazil.

Through its visionary giving, Northwest Healthcare Properties REIT is supporting a hub of disease prevention and innovation, helping build global resilience to weather pandemics.
