| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |

Reading Sandy the way a credit committee does
60.0 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. 12 approvals worth $14,804,000 in Clackamas County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. A $102,201 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the Sandy mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- 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 Sandy does not appear. Availability is still a Oregon question.

What owners in Sandy ask

Median household income in Sandy runs $102,201. 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.
03What does SBA lending look like around Sandy?
$14,804,000 went to healthcare borrowers in Clackamas County across 12 approvals, $1,233,667 on average. Deals near Sandy get sized against that record before anything else.
04What 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 12,990 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
05Which fields carry the volume in Sandy?
The 15 enumerated fields are led by primary care and family medicine at 19, with chiropractic at 14 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06Is Sandy underwritten as part of Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA?
Partly. Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA is 21 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 12,990 residents around Sandy. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
