Loan activity in Sedgwick County
14 healthcare approvals averaging $243,729 set the deal shape lenders in Sedgwick County have already underwritten
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 14 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Total approved capital | $3,412,200 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Mean deal size | $243,729 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 329 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Density of 74.4 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Sedgwick County already carries $3,412,200 across 14 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $82,089 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Derby households actually spend.
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
Weighted by how often each of the 20 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Kansas rules and the partner decide availability.
What a funder reads first in Derby
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, chiropractic, primary care and family medicine account for most of what is enumerated in Derby, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (73) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Chiropractic (24) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Primary care and family medicine (19) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Counts in the first column are Derby providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Derby, not what any funder will do with your file.

Questions from Derby
01How many providers practice in Derby, and in what?
NPPES lists 198 providers at a Derby practice address, 74.4 per 10,000 residents across 20 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 73 of them, 37 percent of the total, with chiropractic next at 24. Read that as clinicians: 198 enumerations, not 198 owners.
02What does Sedgwick County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Sedgwick County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Derby and evidences a staffing ramp in a 26,604 resident market.
03How does the hospital in Derby affect a practice file?
Referral flow, coverage, and the local pay scale all trace back to it. The town carries 2 Medicare-certified providers in total. A Derby projection that names the call arrangement reads better than one that assumes it.
04Is Derby underwritten as part of Wichita, KS?
Partly. Wichita, KS is 10 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 26,604 residents around Derby. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
05What does SBA lending look like around Derby?
Healthcare borrowers in Sedgwick County took 14 approvals worth $3,412,200 in the published fiscal year, averaging $243,729. That is the comparable set an appraiser near Derby reaches for first.
06Is there local lending capacity in Sedgwick County?
County Business Patterns records 329 credit intermediation establishments in Sedgwick County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Derby rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
