George L. Chapman, chief executive officer of Health Care REIT Inc., the billion-dollar real estate investment trust based in Toledo, on Monday announced his retirement, effective immediately.
Health Care REIT said Thomas J. DeRosa, 56, a director of the company since 2004, would become its new CEO.
The company said that Mr. Chapman, 66, who also is chairman and president, is stepping down to focus on his health and to give attention to personal and civic commitments.
In an interview Monday, Mr. DeRosa said Mr. Chapman told the board recently he has a nonlife-threatening health issue that he needs time to take care of, as well as focusing on his family.
Mr. Chapman will become a senior adviser to the company, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol HCN.
Jeffrey Donahue, who was Health Care REITs lead independent director, will replace Mr. Chapman as board chairman. The title of president will be vacated.
A company spokesman said while Mr. Chapman had decided not to discuss his retirement decision, he did issue a statement.
It has been an honor to lead HCN, its talented management team, and dedicated employees over the past two decades. I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished together, and I am confident HCN is well-positioned to succeed, Mr. Chapman said. While I will miss my day-to-day role at HCN, now is the right time for me to move on and serve the company in a different capacity.

Despite the driving rain, construction crews were still out and working to build the new $47 million addition to North Dutchess Hospial in Rhinebeck on Tuesday, April 15th, 2014.KELLY MARSH/For the Times Herald-Record

RHINEBECK The regions health care landscape underwent a dramatic if quiet sea change over the weekend, as one venerable medical institution was given a new name and another launched a new $47 million building expansion.
Last year, St. Francis Hospital fell short of celebrating its centennial year as an independent Catholic hospital when it declared bankruptcy in December. It will soon likely in May become part of Health Quest, the regions largest health care conglomerate. Health Quest has promised there will be no job loss as the result of the acquisition. Its new name will be Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital of Westchester Medical Center.
On Friday, the same day Health Quest announced the name change, company officials and political figures turned over the first ceremonial scoops of earth that will mark the beginning of a new $47 million addition to Northern Dutchess Hospital in the village of Rhinebeck.
That addition includes another six operating rooms and 40 patient rooms at the hospital.
Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, D-Kingston, who participated in the ceremony, lauded the hospital for paying attention to public comment during planning board review.
While not all stakeholders were on the same page from the start, the hospital took great pains to listen to public input and make significant changes to their plan, he said in a statement.
The changes on the east side of the Hudson come as the fate of the two major hospitals on the west side, in Ulster County, contend with uncertain futures.

COLUMBIA, Mo. University of Missouri researchers have previously shown that a genetic pre-disposition to be more or less motivated to exercise exists. In a new study, Frank Booth, a professor in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine, has found a potential link between the genetic pre-disposition for high levels of exercise motivation and the speed at which mental maturation occurs.
For his study, Booth selectively bred rats that exhibited traits of either extreme activity or extreme laziness. Booth then put the rats in cages with running wheels and measured how much each rat willingly ran on their wheels during a six-day period. He then bred the top 26 runners with each other and bred the 26 rats that ran the least with each other. They repeated this process through 10 generations and found that the line of running rats chose to run 10 times more than the line of "lazy" rats.
Booth studied the brains of the rats and found much higher levels of neural maturation in the brains of the active rats than in the brains of the lazy rats.
"We looked at the part of the brain known as the 'grand central station,' or the hub where the brain is constantly sending and receiving signals," Booth said. "We found a big difference between the amount of molecules present in the brains of active rats compared to the brains of lazy rats. This suggests that the active rats were experiencing faster development of neural pathways than the lazy rats."
Booth says these findings may suggest a link between the genes responsible for exercise motivation and the genes responsible for mental development. He also says this research hints that exercising at a young age could help develop more neural pathways for motivation to be physically active.
"This study illustrates a potentially important link between exercise and the development of these neural pathways," Booth said. "Ultimately, this could show the benefits of exercise for mental development in humans, especially young children with constantly growing brains."

New Rochelle, NY, April 15, 2014Transgender individuals are medically underserved and their healthcare needs incompletely understood in part because they represent a subpopulation whose health is rarely monitored by U.S. national surveillance systems. To address these issues, a new study compared methods of collecting and analyzing data to assess health disparities in a clinical sample of transgender individuals, as reported in an article published in LGBT Health, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the LGBT Health website at http://www.liebertpub.com/lgbt.
Sari Reisner, ScD and coauthors, Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital, and Fenway Health, Boston MA, compared transgender and non-transgender patients on health measures such as substance abuse, HIV infection, lifetime suicide attempts, and social stressors including violence and discrimination. They report their findings in the article "Transgender Health Disparities: Comparing Full Cohort and Nested Matched Pair Study Designs in a Community Health Center".
"Clinic-based samples and patient-related data are under-utilized sources of information about transgender health, particularly in community-based, urban health centers that typically serve large numbers of transgender patients," says Editor-in-Chief William Byne, MD, PhD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY. "Reisner and coauthors describe a method of handling such data to provide valid results while maximizing efficiency with respect to time and resources."

New study from Harvard identifies transgender health disparities
As much as 80 percent of the processed food sold in Vermont is a product of modern genetic engineering. An overwhelming majority of registered voters in the state want to to know which 80 percent, according to a new public opinion poll conducted for VTDigger.org by the Castleton Polling Institute.
The poll results show 79 percent of respondents support a law to require the labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients. Vermonters' support for what would be a landmark labeling law surpasses party lines, regional boundaries and differences in age, gender, education and income level.
The constituency showing the most opposition to the labeling law is Republicans, at 27 percent. Otherwise, no group reaches 20 percent opposition. Democrats show the least opposition, with just 9 percent.
About 83 percent of Vermonters under age 65 support the bill.
GMO labeling laws have been proposed in more than two dozens other states to date. Connecticut and Maine have passed legislation that would take effect if other states require labeling, too.
Vermont's proposed law contains no triggers. It would take effect in July 2016.
