Everyone has the right to thrive

At Kaiser Permanente, our goal is to be the champion of health care in Hawaii.

That’s why our commitment to total health extends beyond the doctor’s office to improving the well-being of the communities we serve. Our partnerships in the public and private sector make an impact on people, policies, and places across our island home.

Together, we can build healthier communities and make wellness achievable so everyone in Hawaii can thrive.
