OAKLAND, Calif. — Graphite Health, a member-led company intent on transforming digital health care to improve patient outcomes and lower costs, has announced that Kaiser Permanente is now an organizing member. Kaiser Permanente is the fourth organizing member of Graphite Health, joining SSM Health, Presbyterian Healthcare Services, and Intermountain Healthcare.
“Kaiser Permanente is committed to improving health care in the U.S., and our decision to join Graphite Health reflects another step we’re taking to further that mission,” said Greg A.

By joining Graphite Health now, we are excited to help shape the future of digital health transformation, and to improve patient and member experience at Kaiser Permanente and beyond.”
Graphite Health operates as a nonprofit company with a governance structure that prioritizes purpose over profit. Graphite Health’s board, composed of executives from the organizing health system members, serves the common interests of members, and provides oversight. Health system members have a voice in the company’s direction and receive technology solutions designed for and by them along with the resources required to onboard and adopt these new capabilities. As part of joining the organization as a member, Prat Vemana, Kaiser Permanente’s senior vice president and chief digital officer, will join the board of Graphite Health.
“We know that by working together to address interoperability at scale, we can create more convenience and better quality care, and lower costs. That’s why we are thrilled to add Kaiser Permanente to Graphite Health’s growing list of member systems,” said Ries Robinson, MD, CEO of Graphite Health. “As Kaiser Permanente is nationally known for their innovative approach, we look forward to working closely with them to digitally transform and improve health care, and ultimately, to help patients and members across the country live better, healthier lives.”

Fundamental to Graphite Health’s vision is the Digital Hippocratic Oath, which serves as the ethical compass that guides all operations, including their approach to data sharing, integration, and technical processes.
Graphite Health anticipates bringing additional health care systems and philanthropies into its coalition in the coming months, as well as partnering with leading technology innovators and growing its dynamic team.
