Founded in 1945, Kaiser Permanente pioneered the integrated delivery model, which, through a partnership between the health plan, hospitals, and Permanente medical groups, delivers high quality, coordinated care to members. This coordinated care delivery model enables sharp focus on prevention and affordable health care through the use of evidence-based medicine and industry-leading technology.

He has committed to spending millions of dollars each year with construction suppliers that are owned by minorities, women, and veterans to support Kaiser Permanente’s continued commitment to diversity.
