Honored for extraordinary community service

Thu, 28 May 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Our employees and doctors work hard to support our members and help them stay healthy.

Many also use their time and talents outside of work to help people and support causes that matter to them.

Each year, we give the David Lawrence Community Service Award to employees and doctors whose volunteer work makes a real and lasting difference.

David Lawrence, MD, was a former Kaiser Permanente chair and CEO and a longtime advocate for community health. We give individual winners and small groups $10,000 to donate to a nonprofit of their choice. Groups of 4 or more people receive $25,000 to donate.
