In This Section

Part of Kaiser Permanente's social mission is to improve the health of the communities we serve. We do this through programs, services, grants, and strategic partnerships. Our idea of health care goes far beyond the walls of our medical facilities, and into the communities we serve. Below are some of the programs Kaiser Permanente offers.

Mobile health vehicle

Health is the foundation of well-being, and early detection is key to staying healthy. Kaiser Permanente’s mobile health vehicle program brings important screening and resource services directly into communities, helping more people access preventive care.

The program offers free health screenings and wellness resources, including:

  • Blood pressure checks
  • Body mass index screenings (for height and weight)
  • Cholesterol screenings
  • Glucose screenings
  • Exercise and nutrition assessments
  • Food security evaluations
  • Referrals to local health care providers
  • Referrals to community support resources

Learn more about how organizations can request a mobile health vehicle visit.

Care and coverage programs

Medicaid

As a nonprofit health plan we have a responsibility to support health improvement for our members and for underserved people in our service area. One way we help meet community needs is by participating in Medicaid. We provide Kaiser Permanente pediatric care to Medicaid and Child Health Insurance Program participants through contracts with 3 Medicaid care management organizations.

Bridge Program

The Kaiser Permanente Bridge Program is a charitable health coverage program available in the Georgia Region. It offers individuals with low incomes who are uninsured and residing in households at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level access to health care through a subsidized insurance program.

Medical Financial Assistance program

Kaiser Permanente’s Medical Financial Assistance program provides financial assistance for qualifying patients who need help paying for emergency or medically necessary care they receive in a Kaiser Permanente medical facility or from a Kaiser Permanente provider.
