Reading Oakland Park the way a credit committee does
At 97.2 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 95 prior Broward County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. With $68,424 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Oakland Park households actually spend.
