New Marathon Health Center for Benefitted Employees
The Marathon Health Center for benefited employees of Wicomico County Public Schools and their dependents is now open and ready to serve your healthcare needs!
The WCPS Marathon Health Center is located at 659 S. Salisbury Blvd. Suite 3 (on the S curve in Salisbury). The center opened bright and early on Wednesday, Aug. 7th, with Chief Finance & Operations Officer Dr. Brian Raygor as Patient #1, eager to check out the new health center.
As a benefited employee, you and eligible dependents now have free and easy access to:
primary and sick care
chronic condition management
lab services
health coaching
mental health services
150+ prescription medications
The new health center is an important part of our investment in the health and well-being of our employees and their families, and we are excited to partner on it with Marathon Health, one of the industry’s leading providers of employer-sponsored healthcare. Marathon Health partners with more than 600 companies across the nation, providing its members with high-quality care that is convenient and confidential. With little or no wait time for appointments and longer visit time with providers, patients at Marathon Health often see significant improvements in their overall health.
Marathon Health is separate from Wicomico County Public Schools and always ensures privacy and confidentiality of individual health information. The same rules that protect your privacy at a local physician’s office will protect your information at Marathon Health.
Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments are available in-person or virtually at times that are convenient to you. And the best part – services are free to you and your dependents as part of your WCPS health insurance benefits.
This is a great benefit for our benefited employees and their dependents (including children age 3 and up), as well as benefited retirees up to age 65. All you need to do is:

Local Diabetes Management Resources
Controlling diabetes is very important to lower the risk for eye disease, kidney problems, nerve damage, and high cholesterol, a major risk factor for heart disease. It can also reduce the risk of death from diabetes (the 7th leading cause of death in the US), as well as lower healthcare costs and reduce visits to the doctor/emergency department.
If you are diabetic or know someone local who is, please review and share this list of diabetes management resources for Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties.
