Carmel Clay Schools ends 30-year athletic-training tie with Ascension St. Vincent, hires Riverview Health at $300K/year
On Sept. 23, 2026, the Carmel Clay Schools board voted unanimously to end a 30-year athletic-training partnership with Ascension St. Vincent and instead contract Riverview Health (part of Parkview Health Systems) for $300,000 annually under a five-year agreement with 3–4% annual increases.
The Carmel Clay Schools (CCS) board voted unanimously on 2026-09-23 to end its athletic-training partnership with Ascension St. Vincent and award a five-year contract to Riverview Health, part of Parkview Health Systems, at $300,000 per year with annual fee increases of 3–4%.
CCS Associate Superintendent Roger McMichael told the district that the prior arrangement with Ascension St. Vincent had been discounted for years because it drove referral business to the hospital system, but that dynamic has shifted amid the planned closure of the Ascension St. Vincent Sports Performance office at Clay Terrace and other structural changes in the hospital system, prompting the district to solicit proposals.
