What Washington County credit files already show
2 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 2 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $387,500 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $193,750 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 37 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
Reading Marietta the way a credit committee does
Underwriting starts with 266.9 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. A short county record of 2 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. Household income of $45,986 in Marietta 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
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Marietta does not appear. Availability is still a Ohio question.
The first pages of a Marietta file
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: physical, occupational, and speech therapy, specialty physician groups, primary care and family medicine
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (78) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Specialty physician groups (54) | Ancillary revenue contribution, Provider productivity, Payer contracts | Ancillary build-out |
| Primary care and family medicine (43) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Column one counts Marietta clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Marietta file differently.

Marietta is the Washington County seat, so county employment steadies the payer mix.

Questions from Marietta
01How many providers practice in Marietta, and in what?
NPPES lists 348 providers at a Marietta practice address, 266.9 per 10,000 residents across 29 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 78 of them, 22 percent of the total, with specialty physician groups next at 54. Read that as clinicians: 348 enumerations, not 348 owners.
02What does Washington County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Washington County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 13,039 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
03Why does Washington County show so little SBA activity?
Washington County shows 2 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 37 lending establishments operate locally.
04Is Marietta underwritten as part of Parkersburg-Vienna, WV?
Partly. Parkersburg-Vienna, WV is 12 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 13,039 residents around Marietta. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
05How does the hospital in Marietta affect a practice file?
It makes the staffing and referral lines checkable. 7 Medicare-certified providers hold Marietta addresses, and the hospital sets the wage a clinical hire is bid against in a 266.9 per 10,000 market.
06Which fields carry the volume in Marietta?
Volume concentrates in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 78 of them, ahead of specialty physician groups at 54, across 29 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
