Community Benefit encompasses the range of activities Kaiser Permanente uses to impact community health:

- Educational Theatre Program
- Charitable Health Coverage
- Research
- Disseminating Knowledge
As a nonprofit health plan, Community Benefit is integral to our mission of helping communities achieve good health. We partner with local nonprofits, universities that train health care professionals, and local health departments to improve access to health care, train medical professionals, and develop programs that promote healthy living.
Our Community Benefit program spans a 28-county service area in metropolitan Atlanta, where we work to enhance people’s health and well being, especially those who may be at risk due to age, ethnicity, gender or socio-economic status.
Program Goal
Through Community Benefit investments, we seek to address the root cases of poor health, and provide services to support healthier lifestyles, especially to underserved communities.
The programs we support reduce health disparities; increase the capacity of safety net organizations; develop and promote healthy communities; and sharing health information.
Live Well. Be Well. Thrive. |
