Ever dream of creating a new you? Don't wait a moment longer. Thrive, with Kaiser Permanente.
Kaiser Permanente Health Insurance is America's leading integrated health care organization. Founded in 1945, it is a nonprofit health plan, with headquarters in Oakland, California. Kaiser Permanente serves the health care needs of members in nine states and Washington, D.C.
Today, it encompasses Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and the Permanente Medical Groups, and it has an affiliation with Group Health Cooperative, based in Seattle, Washington.
Kaiser Permanente aspires to be the world leader in improving health through high-quality, affordable, integrated health care. We are distinguished by our strong social purpose, physician responsibility for clinical care, and enduring cooperation between our health plan and our medical groups.
There are 8.4 million voluntarily enrolled members as of December 2005. Most members join through their employers, who pay part or all of the monthly dues. Qualified individuals who do not have access to the plan through their employers also may join.
