TheHospital is part of the Catholic Healthcare West system of 42 acute care hospitals.
As part of the transaction, Windrose assumed $5.4 million of debt at a fixed interest rate of 7.1% and utilized its secured bank credit facility to fund the remainder. Windrose intends to pay down the debt with a portion of the net proceeds from its recently priced common stock offering.

"This property complements our strategy of acquiring specialty medical properties in desirable markets with attractive growth characteristics."
