American Healthcare REIT, Inc. (AHR) announced that its Chief Executive Officer and President, Danny Prosky, will be on medical leave of absence effective February 3, 2026. In response, the Board of Directors appointed Chairman Jeffrey Hanson to serve as interim CEO and President, ensuring continuity of leadership during Prosky’s absence.
Hanson, who led AHR as CEO from 2015 to 2021 and has served as chairman since 2021, brings deep familiarity with the company’s strategy and operations. Prosky, who has been president since 2015 and CEO since October 2021, remains the long‑term chief executive and will resume his duties once his medical leave concludes. The transition is designed to preserve the company’s strategic trajectory and operational stability.
AHR continues to focus on its RIDEA‑structured senior housing and outpatient medical assets, a model that allows the REIT to share in the operational success of its facilities. The leadership change does not alter the company’s current business plan or financial outlook; Hanson will work closely with the senior leadership team to maintain the execution of existing initiatives.
Citizens, an analyst firm, reiterated its “Market Outperform” rating and a $60.00 price target for AHR following the announcement. Analysts view the transition as “business as usual,” citing Hanson’s experience and the intact senior management team as key factors that mitigate any operational risk.
In a statement, Hanson expressed full support for Prosky and confidence in the senior leadership team’s ability to execute the company’s mission, underscoring the REIT’s commitment to stability and continued growth.
