Northern California

Do you believe success comes from living and working in the right environment? Then Kaiser Permanente Northern California may be the perfect place for you to put your beliefs into practice.

Northern California is a place of dramatic contrasts: snow-capped Sierras, the rugged coastline of Big Sur, and the cosmopolitan city of San Francisco. It also includes the Sacramento area and the Central Valley. The region offers a myriad of lifestyles, as well as educational, cultural, and recreational options, making the area one of the country's most exciting places to live and to work.

Our Northern California Region provides integrated health care services to approximately 3.1 million members. Approximately 4,400 physicians of The Permanente Medical Group provide services at 17 medical centers and numerous medical offices.

Kaiser Permanente had its beginnings in Northern California during World War II as a prepaid health care program, serving workers at Kaiser-managed shipyards in Richmond, California. At the end of the war, the program was opened to the community in response to the requests of workers and participating physicians who wanted to continue the prepaid group practice.

Kaiser Permanente of Northern California has earned an "Excellent" rating from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)-the nation's leading reviewer of health plan quality for consumers and employers. Excellent is the top rating granted by NCQA, which reviews satisfaction surveys, preventive measures, physician credentialing, member services and improvement initiatives.^*

Both our Northern and Southern California regions were the only health plans in California identified by the NCQA in its list of the best health care programs in the Pacific States. (NCQA's The State of Health Care Quality 2003)

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations accredits all Kaiser Foundation Hospitals in California.

For the seventh straight year, no other health plan has earned higher ratings from the California Cooperative Health Reporting Initiative on more measures than Kaiser Permanente. The annual ratings measure clinical quality and member satisfaction. (CCHRI Report on Quality 2003)

Our Northern California region received more three-star "Excellent" ratings than any other health plan surveyed by California's Office of the Patient Advocate on California's Quality of Care Report Card 2003-04.
