Tazewell County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The county file holds 6 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 6 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Total approved capital | $848,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Mean deal size | $141,333 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 63 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
Density of 81.4 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. A short county record of 6 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. Household income of $87,760 in Morton is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Ranked from the 20 fields that actually practice in Morton, weighted toward chiropractic. Availability still depends on Illinois and on the funding partner.
The first pages of a Morton file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Morton that means chiropractic, general dentistry, primary care and family medicine.
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Chiropractic (24) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| General dentistry (21) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
| Primary care and family medicine (20) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Column one counts Morton clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Morton file differently.

What owners in Morton ask
01How many providers practice in Morton, and in what?
NPPES lists 143 providers at a Morton practice address, 81.4 per 10,000 residents across 20 tracked fields. Chiropractic accounts for 24 of them, 17 percent of the total, with general dentistry next at 21. Read that as clinicians: 143 enumerations, not 143 owners.
02Why does Tazewell County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 6 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Tazewell County. That tracks how few Tazewell County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 63 credit intermediation establishments operate in Tazewell County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03What does Tazewell County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Tazewell County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Morton and evidences a staffing ramp in a 17,557 resident market.
04Which fields carry the volume in Morton?
Volume concentrates in chiropractic, 24 of them, ahead of general dentistry at 21, across 20 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
05How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Morton?
3 Medicare-certified providers hold an address in the town across the Care Compare categories. Certified volume this close matters on a working-capital file, because it shows the payer-mix and the reimbursement lag a funder will price into a 17,557 resident market.
06Is Morton underwritten as part of Peoria, IL?
Partly. Peoria, IL is 12 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 17,557 residents around Morton. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
