What lenders have already approved in Dona Ana County
With 2 healthcare approvals recorded, Dona Ana County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 2 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Total approved capital | $1,458,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Mean deal size | $729,000 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 117 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [5] |
What the two tables above change about a file
A file from here opens on 23.6 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. Dona Ana County has 2 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. A $52,147 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
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Medical receivables factoring
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Weighted by how often each of the 9 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. New Mexico rules and the partner decide availability.
The first pages of a Sunland Park file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Sunland Park that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, aba and autism therapy, primary care and family medicine.
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (17) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| ABA and autism therapy (11) | Authorized hours against delivered hours, Payer mix stability, Billing compliance history | Working capital against authorization and billing lag |
| Primary care and family medicine (5) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Counts in the first column are Sunland Park providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Sunland Park, not what any funder will do with your file.

What owners in Sunland Park ask
01How many providers practice in Sunland Park, and in what?
NPPES lists 43 providers at a Sunland Park practice address, 23.6 per 10,000 residents across 9 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 17 of them, 40 percent of the total, with aba and autism therapy next at 11. Read that as clinicians: 43 enumerations, not 43 owners.
02Why does Dona Ana County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 2 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Dona Ana County. That tracks how few Dona Ana County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 117 credit intermediation establishments operate in Dona Ana County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03What does Dona Ana County's shortage designation change?
Dona Ana County holds a HRSA designation covering primary care, dental, mental health. A pro forma for Sunland Park can cite it as the reason a vacancy is fillable, which is usually the weakest line in a ramp schedule.
04Is there local lending capacity in Dona Ana County?
County Business Patterns records 117 credit intermediation establishments in Dona Ana County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Sunland Park rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
05What does a $52,147 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Sunland Park runs $52,147. 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.
06Is Sunland Park underwritten as part of El Paso, TX?
El Paso, TX sits 10 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read El Paso, TX; the 18,185 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
