social trends, notably the aging of the population, require vast investments and infrastructure development. The devastating impact of dementia on people and their families demands new solutions. Together with Welltower's operating partners, they're creating environments that help their partners meet the challenges of this complicated and rapidly changing environment.

Welltower has built a unique partnership model to fund and drive changes in how and where health care is delivered. It’s a win-win philosophy with a shared vision of helping people live and age well. There’s a special relationship between Welltower, those who operate their communities, and the patients and residents they serve. This philosophy is what makes Welltower the partner of choice in their industry.

Welltower believes in the power of bringing partners, ideas and resources together to support the evolution of health care to a more connected, lower-cost model. We convene partners across the continuum of care to build more connected models at the community level. Over 60% of Welltower's investments over the past five years have been targeted at growing our investments with existing partners.

Sustainability principles are critical to Welltower's ability to promote wellness. Welltower believes focusing on these principles leads to a more sustainable company, industry and society.

Welltower is deeply committed to incorporating environmentally friendly technologies and approaches in their real estate portfolio. Welltower makes annual investments to reduce their environmental impact, benchmark energy usage and set target reduction goals and work with their partners on additional energy-saving initiatives.
