Tarrant County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 73 healthcare approvals in Tarrant County, $46,204,800 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 | 73 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Total approved capital | $46,204,800 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Mean deal size | $632,942 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 1,093 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
Reading Forest Hill the way a credit committee does
At 18.2 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 73 prior Tarrant County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. Household income of $59,653 in Forest Hill 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
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Medical receivables factoring
- Equipment financing and leasing
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Forest Hill does not appear. Availability is still a Texas question.
Underwriting by field in Forest Hill
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Forest Hill that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care, home health.
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (7) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care (5) | Census and occupancy, Staffing reporting, Survey history | Working capital |
| Home health (4) | Medicare certification first, Payer mix second, Days in accounts receivable third | Payroll between visit and remittance |
Counts in the first column are Forest Hill providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Forest Hill, not what any funder will do with your file.

What the geography does to a Forest Hill projection
30 miles separate Forest Hill from Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX. Rent comparables cross that gap; patients mostly do not. At $59,653 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. No hospital operates here, so the referral sources and the call arrangement have to be named rather than assumed.
