• Capital Enhancement Programs

    Credit enhancement can improve a health center’s ability to obtain a loan, lower the interest rate, and/or improve the loan terms. Capital Link has assisted health centers with the following credit enhancement programs:

    The HRSA Facilities Loan Guarantee Program provides Health Center Program grantees a guarantee of up to 80% of financing needed to support construction, renovation, and modernization of medical facilities. The program facilitates access to capital funding and reduces financing costs to support capital infrastructure projects. 

    The program is currently being updated. For more information, visit: https://bphc.hrsa.gov/programopportunities/loan-guarantee-program.html

    Capital Link's Business Plan Manual may be a helpful reference for health centers interested in this program. 

    The USDA Community Facilities Guarantee Program provides guarantees on loans provided by lenders such as banks, savings and loans, mortgage companies that are affiliated with bank holding companies, banks of the Farm Credit System, or insurance companies regulated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Loans are guaranteed up to 90 percent of the loan’s outstanding principal. Additional information on the USDA’s programs can be found at www.rurdev.usda.gov.

    Updated with 2023 HRSA UDS data, Capital Link’s Performance Evaluation Profile (PEP) is a diagnostic tool for health centers and PCAs to examine financial health, productivity, utilization, and staffing.

    Pages from PEP 2020 2023 SAMPLE.pdfUsing UDS information and Capital Link's own database of health center financial audits, the PEP provides multi-year performance trends for 2020 through 2023, benchmarking the results against state, national, and peer medians across 113 financial and operational metrics.

    • Patient and Visits Growth Rates Dashboard


    Metrics include:

    • Virtual Visits for Medical, Dental, Mental Health, and Enabling Services (new to HRSA UDS in 2019)
    • Substance Use Disorder Visits per Substance Use Disorder FTE (new to PEP)
    • Percentage of women 51-73 years of age who had a mammogram to screen for breast cancer (new to HRSA UDS in 2020)
    • Percentage of patients 21 years of age and older at high risk of cardiovascular events who were prescribed or were on statin therapy (new to HRSA UDS in 2019)

    Available as an individual health center report, or as a statewide or regional data analysis for PCAs, the PEP increases organization-wide financial and operational performance awareness and supports capital project planning thereby enhancing overall health center operations.
