Several of the 74 physical, occupational, and speech therapy enumerations can belong to one practice, so the column counts clinicians rather than businesses or owners
Cochise County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The county file holds 2 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 2 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $600,000 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $300,000 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 44 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Density of 91.0 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Cochise County has 2 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. A $69,783 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Working capital term loan
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Sierra Vista does not appear. Availability is still a Arizona question.

Questions from Sierra Vista
01How many providers practice in Sierra Vista, and in what?
407 enumerations sit at Sierra Vista addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 91.0 for every 10,000 residents. 18 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and specialty physician groups follows with 60. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 407 here cover fewer than 407 practices.
02Why does Cochise County show so little SBA activity?
Only 2 healthcare approvals appear for Cochise County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Cochise County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 44 credit intermediation establishments.
03Is Sierra Vista underwritten as part of Sierra Vista-Douglas, AZ?
Partly. Sierra Vista-Douglas, AZ is 0 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 44,710 residents around Sierra Vista. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04What does Cochise County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Cochise County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
05How does the hospital in Sierra Vista affect a practice file?
Referral flow, coverage, and the local pay scale all trace back to it. The town carries 10 Medicare-certified providers in total. A Sierra Vista projection that names the call arrangement reads better than one that assumes it.
06Which fields carry the volume in Sierra Vista?
The 33 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 74, with specialty physician groups at 60 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
