One of Kaiser Permanente’s promises to members is to help us to plan in advance for those unexpected moments that can happen in life.  In the month of April, we will be celebrating and promoting Life Care Planning. The Health Education Department will be holding events at all our locations throughout the month.  We will be available to assist you with any questions you may have about choosing an agent or submitting your Advance Health Care Directive.  We want to make sure that your wishes are honored, and are stored in your medical record.

Contact your local Health Education department for times and locations of Life Care Planning events in the month of April.

By the end of 2017, Kaiser Permanente Northern California tallied over 100,000 quitters.
