RRISD to negotiate with Marathon Health for worksite health clinic
Services offered The clinic will provide a variety of services to district staff, including:
Round Rock ISD will soon begin negotiations with Marathon Health for a future worksite health clinic, after trustees gave administrators the go-ahead June 17. What you need to know Trustees unanimously approved a measure to allow the district to enter into contract negotiations with the healthcare provider to construct and operate a worksite clinic for district employees. RRISD Chief of Human Resources Eddie Curran said the effort is a cost containment mea- sure, as the district has observed a 15% increase in health costs since 2021 under its current self-funded health insurance. Curran also added that having a worksite health clinic available to employees will help reduce out- of-pocket costs to district staff, as well as wait times. The details District timelines for the project show construction, which began in late July, could about five months before opening in January 2026.

How it works Marathon Health will commit just over $1.7 million in start-up costs to build and implement the worksite clinic in exchange for a 10-year contract. At the end of that 10-year period, the district would own the property, Curran said. The facility is estimated to cost about $3.35 million to operate, according to the district.
