Loan activity in Broward County

| Total approved capital | $45,454,700 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |

Reading Weston the way a credit committee does
125.4 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. 95 approvals worth $45,454,700 in Broward County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. With $140,501 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Weston households actually spend.

What owners in Weston ask
01How many providers practice in Weston, and in what?
886 enumerations sit at Weston addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 125.4 for every 10,000 residents. 29 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and specialty physician groups follows with 145. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 886 here cover fewer than 886 practices.
02Which fields carry the volume in Weston?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 261 providers and specialty physician groups at 145 lead the 30 fields enumerated here. A funder reads that mix as the local competition set and the local hiring pool at once, before it reads a single line of your own numbers.
03What does SBA lending look like around Weston?
Healthcare borrowers in Broward County took 95 approvals worth $45,454,700 in the published fiscal year, averaging $478,471. That is the comparable set an appraiser near Weston reaches for first.
04What does Broward County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Broward County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 70,674 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
05How does the hospital in Weston affect a practice file?
A Medicare-certified hospital operates in the town, which gives referral flow, a call schedule, and a clinical labor pool a funder can verify. 4 Medicare-certified providers are located here in total. It also sets the wage floor behind every hire in a 125.4 per 10,000 market.
06Is Weston underwritten as part of Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL?
Partly. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL is 26 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 70,674 residents around Weston. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
