Several of the 76 physical, occupational, and speech therapy enumerations can belong to one practice, so the column counts clinicians rather than businesses or owners
Lake County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 16 healthcare approvals in Lake County, $6,809,300 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 16 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Total approved capital | $6,809,300 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Mean deal size | $425,581 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 318 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 164.1 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 16 prior Lake County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. A $189,705 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
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing

| Specialty physician groups (33) | Ancillary revenue contribution, Provider productivity, Payer contracts | Ancillary build-out |
Local counts come from NPPES. What a file turns on is drawn from how the field is generally reviewed, not from any decision about your practice.

Deerfield owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Deerfield, and in what?
NPPES lists 314 providers at a Deerfield practice address, 164.1 per 10,000 residents across 27 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 76 of them, 24 percent of the total, with aba and autism therapy next at 35. Read that as clinicians: 314 enumerations, not 314 owners.
02What does a $189,705 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Deerfield runs $189,705. On elective and cash-pay work that is the number a funder converts into case acceptance, and it sets how much of a treatment plan a projection can assume gets started rather than deferred.
03What does SBA lending look like around Deerfield?
Healthcare borrowers in Lake County took 16 approvals worth $6,809,300 in the published fiscal year, averaging $425,581. That is the comparable set an appraiser near Deerfield reaches for first.
04What does Lake County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Lake County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 19,138 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
05Which fields carry the volume in Deerfield?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 76 providers and aba and autism therapy at 35 lead the 27 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.
06How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Deerfield?
Care Compare lists 4 certified providers with a Deerfield address. That count is a proxy for how much of the local revenue arrives on a federal payment cycle rather than at the front desk.
