What lenders have already approved in Suffolk County
13 healthcare approvals averaging $151,923 set the deal shape lenders in Suffolk County have already underwritten
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 13 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Approved dollars | $1,975,000 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Average approval | $151,923 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 504 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Density of 38.4 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Suffolk County already carries $1,975,000 across 13 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. A $106,357 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.

How Winthrop sits against the nearest metro
Distance to Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH is 4 miles. Appraisers borrow Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH rents, and the 18,739 residents set the ceiling on collections. Households here carry $106,357 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. No hospital operates here, so the referral sources and the call arrangement have to be named rather than assumed.

Questions from Winthrop
01How many providers practice in Winthrop, and in what?
72 enumerations sit at Winthrop addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 38.4 for every 10,000 residents. 29 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and optometry and ophthalmology follows with 7. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 72 here cover fewer than 72 practices.
02What does Suffolk County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Suffolk County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Winthrop and evidences a staffing ramp in a 18,739 resident market.
03Is Winthrop underwritten as part of Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH?
Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH sits 4 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH; the 18,739 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
04What does a $106,357 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Winthrop runs $106,357. 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.
05What does SBA lending look like around Winthrop?
The county file behind Winthrop holds 13 healthcare approvals totaling $1,975,000, an average of $151,923. Those are the loan sizes lenders in Suffolk County have already carried.
06Is there local lending capacity in Suffolk County?
