What lenders have already approved in Yakima County
With 7 healthcare approvals recorded, Yakima County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 7 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Total approved capital | $8,462,700 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Mean deal size | $1,208,957 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 111 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 74.8 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A short county record of 7 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $53,350 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the Sunnyside mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
Weighted by how often each of the 19 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Washington rules and the partner decide availability.

Sunnyside owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Sunnyside, and in what?
NPPES lists 122 providers at a Sunnyside practice address, 74.8 per 10,000 residents across 19 tracked fields. Primary care and family medicine accounts for 20 of them, 16 percent of the total, with behavioral and mental health group practices next at 17. Read that as clinicians: 122 enumerations, not 122 owners.
02What does Yakima County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Yakima 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.
03Why does Yakima County show so little SBA activity?
Only 7 healthcare approvals appear for Yakima County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Yakima County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 111 credit intermediation establishments.
04How does the hospital in Sunnyside affect a practice file?
Referral flow, coverage, and the local pay scale all trace back to it. The town carries 2 Medicare-certified providers in total. A Sunnyside projection that names the call arrangement reads better than one that assumes it.
05Is Sunnyside underwritten as part of Yakima, WA?
Yakima, WA sits 32 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Yakima, WA; the 16,317 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
06Is there local lending capacity in Yakima County?
County Business Patterns records 111 credit intermediation establishments in Yakima County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Sunnyside rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
