The Okaloosa County School District Employee Health Clinic, operated in partnership with Marathon Health, is making healthcare more convenient and accessible for district employees and their dependents through strong employee participation, high patient satisfaction, and timely access to care. Over 12 months, the OCSD Employee Health Clinic recorded 1,489 visits from district employees and their dependents. Clinic data also shows a 60% employee usage rate, while 64.9% of patients are making progress toward their health goals.
Many appointments are available the same day or the next day, giving employees and their dependents timely access to care. The clinic also offers both in-person and video appointments, providing flexibility for employees working throughout the district. Available services include annual physicals, lab work, prescriptions, and other healthcare services. Employees have reported that the clinic’s location, hours, staff, and ability to provide multiple services during a single visit make accessing care more convenient. The OCSD Employee Health Clinic reports a patient satisfaction score of 95%, providing another measure of employees’ and dependents’ experiences when receiving care.
“The Employee Health Clinic is an important resource for our employees and their families,” said Superintendent Marcus Chambers. “We are pleased to see employees taking advantage of this benefit and using the clinic to access convenient, timely healthcare. The positive response we’ve seen reinforces the value of providing resources that support the health and well-being of our employees.” Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Lindsay Maxey said the clinic is one way the district is working to provide meaningful benefits and convenient resources for its employees and their dependents. “Our employees are at the heart of everything we do for our students, and we want to make sure they have access to benefits that are convenient and valuable,” said Maxey. “The participation and satisfaction we’re seeing demonstrate that employees are using the clinic and finding it to be a helpful resource for their healthcare needs.”
Building on the clinic's success, the district is also expanding access for employees in north Okaloosa County. The Okaloosa County School Board approved the Marathon Health Services Agreement during its September 28 meeting, authorizing the implementation of a second OCSD Employee Health Clinic in Crestview. The second clinic is projected to open in spring 2027. It will provide employees and their dependents in north Okaloosa County with another convenient option for accessing healthcare services through the district’s partnership with Marathon Health..
