You're treated special in our integrated system

At Kaiser Permanente, you’re not just a patient. In our integrated system, you’re known: By your primary care physician. Your specialists. Your nurses and pharmacists. All our patients have a digital health record tracking their medical history. Your care team shares this info, and they communicate with each other and with you to personalize your care plan. We don’t do one-size-fits-all care. We get to know you, and work with you, to make the right health decisions for you.

Seamless care

It’s much simpler to receive care in our system.

Your doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and diagnostic technicians are all connected to your digital health record. So, you don’t have to track down and transport your medical files like you would with a PPO provider. Or fill out forms when you see your doctor. No frustration. No wasted time. Just personalized treatment for a better care experience.

What you get with KP

Your care team knows your health history and manages your medical records, so you don’t have to.

Personalized treatment

We will know your health history, so we deliver the right care faster.

Our specialists will have important information about your health before they even see you. Your pharmacist makes sure new prescriptions are safe to take with your other medications. This helps you avoid unnecessary visits, serious health conditions, and sleepless nights.

360-degree prevention

We focus on the most effective ways to diagnose and treat disease.
