Key risks (from latest filing)
["Concentration risk: majority of lease revenue comes from UHS subsidiaries, making the Trust heavily dependent on a single related-party tenant for cash flow stability","Interest rate and refinancing risk: the Trust carries $359.5 million in line of credit borrowings and is exposed to rising rates on floating-rate debt, limiting dividend growth capacity","Healthcare operational risk: tenant hospital operator performance and occupancy rates directly impact the Trust's ability to collect lease payments and maintain dividend levels"]
