Kaiser Permanente is a pioneer in coordinated health care and coverage in Georgia. As the state’s largest nonprofit health plan, our integrated health care model serves 318,650 members in 32 counties in metropolitan Atlanta and Athens.

Care for our members is focused on their total health and guided by their personal physicians, specialists, and team of other health care providers. In fact, 650 physicians and more than 200 nonphysician staff members make up The Southeast Permanente Medical Group, Inc. and are dedicated to making the lives of our members and communities healthier.

We believe it is important to provide our perspective on policy debates and engage the public in these critical health and health care issues.
