Permanente Medical Groups
As one of the largest health care providers in the United States, Kaiser Permanente exists to provide high-quality, affordable health care services and to improve the health of its members and communities.
This dedication to health and medicine begins with the eight Permanente Medical Groups, which provide multispecialty services and team-based care that’s solely led by physicians. The medical groups work with health-focused organizations to provide tightly integrated insurance and facilities to over 12.7 million members—together, they comprise Kaiser Permanente.
The Permanente Medicine model emphasizes preventive care that embraces an innovative value-based model, which supports Kaiser Permanente’s primary care, specialty care, mental health services, and pharmacy services. The organization has been recognized for its high-quality health care services, earning top ratings from organizations such as the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In addition to its health care services, Kaiser Permanente is also a national leader in research and education, with its own research institutes and medical school.
Founded in 1945 in Oakland, California, the organization has 39 hospitals and more than 600 medical offices across eight states and the District of Columbia.
