Growth is a wonderful instrument for wealth building. I screened the healthcare sector by stocks with the highest earnings per share growth for the next five years (at least 5 percent yearly). In addition, the company should pay today more than three percent in dividends. 10 stocks fulfilled my criteria of which six yielding above 4 percent. Nine stocks have a buy recommendation and one a strong buy rating.

Here are my favorite stocks:
