Kaiser Permanente was founded on the simple idea that everyone deserves the chance to live a healthy life. For 80 years, we’ve remained true to our mission: delivering high-quality, affordable health care and improving the health of our members and communities. Our members are at the center of everything we do — from pioneering new ways to treat cancer to building useful tools that make it easier to stay on top of their health.
Helping people achieve their best health also requires understanding the individuals, populations, and communities we serve, ensuring access to equitable care, partnering with communities, and tailoring programs to meet each member’s unique needs.
We are building inclusive work and care environments where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.
We deliver care that is safe and effective, timely and efficient, culturally responsive and equitable.
We address the root causes of health inequity by supporting economic opportunity, affordable housing, safe and supportive schools, and a healthy environment.
Kaiser Permanente began in the shipyards, where women and men of all races, ethnicities, and abilities worked as peers.
