Editor’s note: This article has been updated to more inclusively describe worksite-based health clinics in Central Texas.
Round Rock ISD marked the opening of its employee health clinic in February with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The district is one of only a few in Central Texas to offer a worksite-based health clinic, along with Georgetown ISD. RRISD's clinic will offer services at low or no cost to employees and their dependents through the district's self-funded health care plan, whereas the Georgetown ISD clinic offers services to staff, students and their immediate families and takes insurance.
What happened?
RRISD officials and representatives from Marathon Health held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 17 and offered tours of the new facility located at 1551 E. Old Settlers Blvd., Round Rock.
How we got here
The district's board of trustees first entertained discussion of a clinic geared toward its employees in February 2025. The idea, Chief of Human Resources Eddie Curran said, would be to provide the same services employees receive through their primary care doctors but at a fraction of the cost, as the district observed a 15% increase in health care costs from 2021 to 2025.
The board later approved a contract with Marathon Health in August to run the clinic.
In a nutshell
The worksite clinic will provide in-house medical services to RRISD employees, as well as to eligible dependents.
The contract also includes a provision to allow the district to scale services in the event of a layoff or increase in headcount.
The details
The clinic will provide a variety of services to district staff, including:
- Primary and preventative care
- Men's and women's health
- Mental health
- General wellness
- Condition management
- Urgent care
- In-house lab work
- Pharmacy
What's next?
District officials said the pharmacy will have a delayed timeline and is not expected to come online until April.
