Stockerblog recently put out a list of top yielding healthcare stocks.

"Biotech stocks seem to be where investors are looking for very substantial gains. Approval of a drug can send the stock skyrocketing. Unfortunately, for the more conservative investor, there are not many biotechs with earnings, and some don't even have revenues. If you are looking for dividends, you almost have to forget it, since there are only four that generate a yield.

However, if you are looking for dividend stocks in the health care sector [a growing sector due to the increasing age of the baby boomers and their parents], there are plenty of other related industries besides biotech."

Here are 10 top yielding healthcare stocks.
