NEWPORT BEACH, CA-American Healthcare Investors, a commercial real estate investment firm that specializes in the acquisition and management of healthcare-related properties, and that serves as the co-sponsor of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT II, has hired several division heads and other key executives, expanding its senior management team. Stefan Oh joins as senior vice president of acquisitions; Chris Rooney as senior vice president of asset management; Shannon Johnson joins as senior vice president of finance and accounting; Trevor Drummond as vice president of finance and accounting; and Cora Lo as senior vice president, securities counsel.
