The City of Ocala is self-insured for health insurance and pharmacy drug claims. To save costs for both the City and its employees, it has established an on-site health and wellness center. Employees, retirees, and their dependents who are enrolled in the City's health insurance plan can access medical services and receive many generic prescription drugs at no cost.

Additionally, the health and wellness center offers occupational health services, including physicals for new hires and treatment for employees injured on the job.
