Loan activity in Medina County
The county file holds 4 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 4 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Total approved capital | $541,900 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Mean deal size | $135,475 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 66 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Underwriting starts with 225.6 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Medina County has 4 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. Household income of $76,099 in Medina is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Medina does not appear. Availability is still a Ohio question.
What a funder reads first in Medina
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, chiropractic
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (141) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (47) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| Chiropractic (43) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
The first column is Medina's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Medina or anywhere else.

What the geography does to a Medina projection
19 miles separate Medina from Akron, OH. Lease pricing follows Akron, OH, while revenue stays capped by the 25,757 residents here. Median household income runs $76,099, which is the number a funder converts into case acceptance on anything elective or cash-pay. A Medicare-certified hospital operates here, so referral flow is verifiable and the clinical wage floor is already set. Higher education here explains why summer looks unlike the rest of the year. Medina is the Medina County seat, so county employment steadies the payer mix.

What owners in Medina ask
01How many providers practice in Medina, and in what?
NPPES lists 581 providers at a Medina practice address, 225.6 per 10,000 residents across 28 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 141 of them, 24 percent of the total, with primary care and family medicine next at 47. Read that as clinicians: 581 enumerations, not 581 owners.
02Why does Medina County show so little SBA activity?
Only 4 healthcare approvals appear for Medina County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Medina County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 66 credit intermediation establishments.
03Is Medina underwritten as part of Akron, OH?
Akron, OH sits 19 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Akron, OH; the 25,757 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
04What does Medina County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Medina County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
05How does the hospital in Medina affect a practice file?
Referral flow, coverage, and the local pay scale all trace back to it. The town carries 10 Medicare-certified providers in total. A Medina projection that names the call arrangement reads better than one that assumes it.
06How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Medina?
Care Compare lists 10 certified providers with a Medina address. That count is a proxy for how much of the local revenue arrives on a federal payment cycle rather than at the front desk.
