Subsequent Events	13. Subsequent Events In October 2011, we entered into agreements with Emerus Holdings to acquire, provide development funding for, and lease three acute care hospitals near San Antonio, Texas. We expect our investment in these three facilities, once built, will approximate $30 million. These three facilities will be leased under a master lease with an initial term of 15 years and three five-year extension options. On November 4, 2011, we acquired Hoboken University Medical Center in Hoboken, New Jersey, a 350-bed acute care facility. The total investment for this transaction is $75.0 million, which includes 100% ownership of the real estate, a secured working capital loan of up to $20 million, and a $5 million convertible note. The lease with the tenant has an initial term of 15 years with six five-year extension options.
