As dividend investors, we’re always looking to balance the near term with the long term. How can we find sectors that offer growth/income, both now and into the future?

The long-term picture for the sector continues to be rosy with our aging population and demand for healthcare-related services. Meanwhile, the short term has tailwinds as well. New and necessary therapies for the coronavirus have created an upswing in the sector.
In the end, healthcare stocks deserve a prominent place in your portfolio.
