health such as secure housing and nutritious food. Our unique mission to
improve not only the health of our members, but also that of our
communities, drives us to undertake impactful initiatives like Thrive
Local to connect our communities with the services they need. This is
one of our bold moves.” - Bernard J. Tyson, Chairman and CEO, Kaiser Permanente. |
