Our Board of Trustees guides our corporate strategy. As of March 1, 2022, our Board has nine Trustees, eight of whom are independent. Our Board’s dedication to the principles in our corporate governance policies leads to an elevated level of excellence in governance that is integral to DOC’s success. Our corporate governance practices are intended to provide the decision-making and behavioral framework needed to promote long-term value creation, properly manage short- and longterm business risks, and provide transparency and accountability for all our stakeholders. Under the leadership of Mr. Albert C. Black, Jr., the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Trustees (the “Nominating Committee”) oversees all ESG matters, human capital management, and DEI policies and initiatives relating to the company, including oversight of DOC’s DEI Council. In furtherance of these responsibilities, the Nominating Committee periodically receives reports from management on the company’s strategy in the areas listed above,
