District eyes on-site clinics to cut costs and boost care
ECISD board president Steve Brown seeks an on-site district clinic modeled after Odessa and Northwest ISD sites. A central, existing-building location is favored with a plan requiring a contract physician, multiple PAs or NPs, nurses, medical assistants, receptionists, an administrator, and a part-time housekeeper. The Odessa clinic averages 400 to 600 monthly visits, with a return on investment quoted up to 5 to 1, and serves primary care, exams, flu shots, and lab work.
