\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRound Rock ISD will celebrate the opening of its employee health clinic, the 4YOU Health Center, this month, about a year after the district first considered it as a cost containment measure for its self-funded health care plan.<\/p>\n
How we got here<\/p>\n
The district’s board of trustees first entertained discussion<\/a> 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<\/a> from 2021 to 2025.<\/p>\n The board later approved a contract<\/a> in August with Marathon Health to run the clinic.<\/p>\n In a nutshell<\/p>\n The worksite clinic will provide in-house medical services to RRISD employees, Curran said last year. The contract with Marathon Health states services will begin<\/a> Jan. 14, with an initial contract period of four years. After this initial term, the contract will renew for one year at a time until either the district or Marathon Health chooses to terminate it, the document states.<\/p>\n The contract also includes a provision to allow the district to scale services in the event of a layoff or increase in headcount.<\/p>\n The details <\/p>\n The clinic will provide a variety of services<\/a> to district staff, including:<\/p>\n Primary and preventative careMen’s and women’s healthMental healthGeneral wellnessCondition managementUrgent carePharmacyWhat’s next?<\/p>\n
