Walking the Talk
At Kaiser Permanente, we recognize that we can help accelerate the important work of public health by leveraging the unique assets of our organization. With decades of experience as an integrated health care system delivering affordable, high-quality care to millions of members, we’ve acquired a wealth of experience that we can share to support the health of our communities.
Many of our Kaiser Permanente physicians work regularly to ensure that health impacts are considered when public policy decisions about transportation, land use, and education are being made. We also share health educational materials, research findings, media resources, and other information with communities to support their initiatives.
We also understand the importance of setting a good example for others by creating change within our own organization to make the healthy choice the easy choice for our workforce.
Here are just a few examples of how Kaiser Permanente is “walking the talk” to support change happening both inside and outside our organization:
