SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE:HTA) ("HTA") announced today that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, it had acquired $295 million of high quality, on-campus or affiliated medical office buildings ("MOB").

The health system provides cutting edge treatment in high-end facilities located in key markets. The health system currently operates 2 hospitals and is developing 4 additional facilities throughout Texas.  

"Our most recent acquisition allows us to expand in the attractive Dallas area, with a leading and fast growing health system focused on the private pay sector of the market," stated Chairman and CEO Scott D. Peters. "This acquisition brings to a close a successful 2012, in which we acquired $295 million of predominately on-campus MOBs, brought 70% of our portfolio under our property management platform, and successfully listed on the NYSE."
