Kaiser Permanente Adds New Online Health Tools for Chronic Conditions to KP.org Member Site

Kaiser Permanente has added three new online Healthy Lifestyle Programs at www.kp.org on the topics of managing diabetes, depression and insomnia.  The new offerings are available to all of Kaiser Permanente’s 8.7 million members and complement the site’s current online health tools and programs on weight management, pain management, smoking cessation and more.

Kaiser Permanente members nationwide have utilized the Healthy Lifestyle Programs 358,355 times as of Sept. 30, and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

The Healthy Lifestyle Programs are offered to members on kp.org through My Health Manager – a personal health record and one-stop resource for free, time-saving services, including e-mailing their doctor, refilling prescriptions and checking lab results.
