05/02/2002

TOLEDO, Ohio, May 2, 2002 (BW HealthWire) -- Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE:HCN) today announced operating results for its first quarter of 2002. The company continues to meet its financial and operational expectations.

"We had a very productive first quarter," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and chief executive officer. "We completed investments totaling $101.7 million and continue to see attractive investment opportunities. Moreover, capital remains reasonable and accessible as evidenced by our recent sale of shares to a real estate fund that yielded net proceeds of $23.6 million. We believe that the combination of attractive investment opportunities and supportive capital markets bodes well for the company."

As previously announced, the Board of Directors declared a dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, of $.585 per share. The dividend represents the 124th consecutive dividend payment. The dividend will be payable May 20, 2002, to shareholders of record on April 30, 2002.
