Thank you, Carla. We're pleased to report another solid quarter and marked progress for the year 2012 and a positive outlook for 2013. Healthcare Realty completed $104 million in acquisitions by yearend, slightly above our expectations. And we saw a steady performance from our core portfolio, generating strong gains and same-store NOI growth as the company remains advantaged by the limited supply and healthy demand at our markets. We also continue to be pleased with leasing momentum, assisted by a more favorable outlook among physicians and hospitals. Rising tenant competence has advanced relocation and expansion decisions, and even more so, now that providers are looking to position themselves to take advantage of reform opportunities and to protect themselves against tighter reimbursement rates. Looking ahead, the company will bring online 2 fully leased Mercy Health properties later this year and with our expected progress and the stabilizing properties, the company enters 2013 in a solid position for accelerating FFO growth into 2014. In fact, we view the current sentiment to be as updated as it's been in quite some time. Regarding investments, we're currently see more of low-risk, high-quality properties that meet our criteria and pricing expectations. The company's sale of 9.2 million shares in the third quarter, along with the recent renewal of our $700 million line of credit, positions us well to fund new opportunities and existing commitments. We expect consolidation in the healthcare industry will require capital and new facilities and cost-effective, centralized locations, which will further the trend towards on-campus outpatient care. Healthcare Realty remains focused on investments that we believe will prosper in this new environment. Accordingly, the underlying credit of our health system partners is proving more and more valuable to the company's low-risk position going forward. Over the last few years, Healthcare Realty's real estate investment strategy has diligently focused on health system relationships with embedded opportunities, enhancing the intrinsic value of the company's portfolio. With nearly 60% of our $3 billion in properties aligned with investment-grade rated health systems, the company benefits from a higher certainty of renewal, market stability and long-term values, because of the property's integral role within the health systems. The consistent performance of our asset base throughout the economic recession affirms our belief in the company's positive fundamentals and its low business risk profile. We see the future as increasingly bright for the company's prospects, given the size of the industry and of course, the booming demand. We believe our investment strategy will continue to produce solid near-term operating results, decreased leverage and foster strong, long-term growth. Now, I'd like to hand it over to Ms. Mancini to summarize our views on current events and trends in the healthcare industry. Bethany?
