What lenders have already approved in Clackamas County
12 healthcare approvals averaging $1,233,667 set the deal shape lenders in Clackamas County have already underwritten
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 12 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Total approved capital | $14,804,000 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Mean deal size | $1,233,667 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 283 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 407.5 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 12 prior Clackamas County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. A $82,422 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Medical receivables factoring
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Milwaukie does not appear. Availability is still a Oregon question.
The first pages of a Milwaukie file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Milwaukie that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, general dentistry.
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (559) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (67) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| General dentistry (40) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Counts in the first column are Milwaukie providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Milwaukie, not what any funder will do with your file.

Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 559 of them, 63 percent of the total, with primary care and family medicine next at 67. Read that as clinicians: 881 enumerations, not 881 owners.
02What does Clackamas County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Clackamas County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 21,620 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
03Which fields carry the volume in Milwaukie?
The 25 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 559, with primary care and family medicine at 67 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
04How does the hospital in Milwaukie affect a practice file?
Referral flow, coverage, and the local pay scale all trace back to it. The town carries 3 Medicare-certified providers in total. A Milwaukie projection that names the call arrangement reads better than one that assumes it.
05Is Milwaukie underwritten as part of Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA?
Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA sits 7 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA; the 21,620 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
06What does SBA lending look like around Milwaukie?
