Construction begins on TCPS employee health center; district targets mid-October opening
Summary
Talbot County Public Schools reported construction has started on a district employee health center to be operated by Marathon Health; staff hiring is underway and outreach to employees will begin in August for a projected mid-October opening.
Sarah Jones, Talbot County Public Schools staff, updated the board that construction has started on the district's employee health center and that Marathon Health will operate the clinic.
Jones said contractors expect substantial completion around Sept. 15 and that marketing and employee information campaigns will begin in August. Jones told the board the opening depends on hiring a provider; staffing interviews are underway and the district expects to open in mid-October if a provider is hired in time.
Jones said Marathon will staff the clinic with a physician's assistant, medical technicians (including a phlebotomist), and front-desk staff. She said the provider will handle insurance and operational staffing and that the district emphasized flexible hours during planning so employees could access services before or after typical work hours; details on exact hours were not yet finalized.
Board members asked for monthly updates and requested a board walkthrough once the provider is onsite but before the center starts seeing patients. Jones agreed to provide additional updates to the board as construction and hiring progress.
