We focus on three broad areas of community health work: Healthy people, Healthy Environments, and Sharing Knowledge. Healthy People Expanding access to care for all people Blood pressure or cholesterol tests can only tell us a part of the community health story. The health of a community and its residents can be measured by its access to the health care resources, fresh foods, and healthy environments they need to thrive, regardless of age, income or insurance status. These programs help to ensure every community member has access to the high-quality care they deserve regardless of insurance status. Healthy Environments Cultivating a world of health Kaiser Permanente supports partners and programs that teach, inspire, and encourage healthy communities for the people and by the people who live there. For example, we’ve helped to establish weekly farmers’ markets in our neighborhoods, provided education about nutrition, and created better environments for exercise and play.These programs help to ensure every community member has access to the high-quality care they deserve regardless of insurance status. Healthier communities begin with providing access to the foods, activity and support vital to an environment where good health can flourish. Sharing Knowledge Investing in the future of care Kaiser Permanente has a long legacy of sharing our most valuable resources: Our knowledge and our talented professionals. Through our programs, we encourage healthy communities and nonprofit organizations to work toward a world where wellness is a priority, nobody falls through the cracks, and everyone has access to health care. From research to uncover disparities in care to training the next generation of health care professionals, these programs expand our ability to heal.
