Loan activity in Franklin County
The published file shows 66 healthcare approvals in Franklin County, $33,316,600 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 66 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $33,316,600 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $504,797 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 658 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
85.3 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. 66 approvals worth $33,316,600 in Franklin County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. With $50,812 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Whitehall households actually spend.
Programs the Whitehall mix reaches for
- Working capital term loan
- Practice acquisition
- Business line of credit
- Medical receivables factoring
- Healthcare AR line and payroll funding
Ranked from the 17 fields that actually practice in Whitehall, weighted toward behavioral and mental health group practices. Availability still depends on Ohio and on the funding partner.
The first pages of a Whitehall file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Whitehall that means behavioral and mental health group practices, home health, physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral and mental health group practices (96) | Clinician retention and productivity, Payer mix and Medicaid concentration, Re-authorization and session limit exposure | Working capital through the credentialing lag |
| Home health (29) | Medicare certification first, Payer mix second, Days in accounts receivable third | Payroll between visit and remittance |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (9) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
Counts in the first column are Whitehall providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Whitehall, not what any funder will do with your file.

How Whitehall sits against the nearest metro
6 miles separate Whitehall from Columbus, OH. Lease pricing follows Columbus, OH, while revenue stays capped by the 19,940 residents here. Households here carry $50,812 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. Referral flow comes from outside Whitehall, which a projection needs to state plainly.

What owners in Whitehall ask
01How many providers practice in Whitehall, and in what?
170 enumerations sit at Whitehall addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 85.3 for every 10,000 residents. 56 percent of them are behavioral and mental health group practices, and home health follows with 29. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 170 here cover fewer than 170 practices.
02What does Franklin County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Franklin County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 19,940 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
03What does SBA lending look like around Whitehall?
Healthcare borrowers in Franklin County took 66 approvals worth $33,316,600 in the published fiscal year, averaging $504,797. That is the comparable set an appraiser near Whitehall reaches for first.
04Is Whitehall underwritten as part of Columbus, OH?
Partly. Columbus, OH is 6 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 19,940 residents around Whitehall. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
05Is there local lending capacity in Franklin County?
County Business Patterns records 658 credit intermediation establishments in Franklin County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Whitehall rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
06What does the underserved designation in Franklin County support?
Franklin County carries a medically underserved designation. It evidences unmet demand behind a capacity build, and it opens recruitment programs that make a staffing line in a projection easier to defend than local wage data alone would.
