Quality of Care We are driven by the needs
of our members and our responsibility to the many
communities we serve. As a nonprofit organization,
our physicians and staff are focused on the delivery
of high-quality health care and services, rather
than short-term stockholder demands. Progressive
Work Environment At Kaiser Permanente, our
emphasis is on improving the quality of care we provide
to our patients and creating a positive environment
for our health care professionals. Our employees
enjoy the advantages of a supportive work culture,
substantial compensation and benefits, and excellent
opportunities for professional growth. Awards
and Recognition Kaiser Permanente is nationally
recognized as an organization that delivers high
quality health care and services. Recently, we were
named one of the "World's Most Respected Companies"
by The Financial Times and Pricewaterhouse Coopers
(January 2003). Kaiser Permanente was ranked seventh
in the health care category and we were the only
health organization listed that provides direct patient
care. CCHRI - Best 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) Kaiser Permanente has also received recognition
from the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA), the nation's leading reviewer of health plan
quality. Kaiser Permanente in several regions, including
Hawaii and Northern and Southern California, Ohio
and Colorado, earned the top rating of "Excellent,"
which means that we satisfied or surpassed NCQA's
strict evaluation criteria in areas such as preventive
care, member services, physician credentialing and
improvements in care delivery.* 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. In NCQA's The State of Health Care Quality
2003, our Northwest and Hawaii plans also rated in
the top five on clinical measures of quality care.
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.
Additionally, Kaiser Permanente of Colorado is rated
in the Top 10 in the nation among health care providers.

Have you ever wanted to live in paradise? Our
Hawaii Region is comprised of the islands of
Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii -- all famed for their
unsurpassed beauty and multicultural heritage.
Established by Henry J. Kaiser in Honolulu in
1958, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Region had an
initial enrollment of 5,000 members, primarily
from employer groups and unions. Today, we deliver
quality care and service to approximately 222,000
members. The Region is based on a relationship
between the Kaiser Permanente Health Plan and
the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group of physicians
and specialists, who share a vision of high quality
care and services. The Hawaii Region is comprised
of a 278-bed medical center, and ten outpatient
clinics on Oahu. There are four clinics on the
island of Maui - the largest in Wailuku, with
smaller clinics in Lahaina and Kihei, and our
newest clinic in Maui Lani. The Big Island of
Hawaii is home to three Kaiser Permanente clinics:
Kona, Hilo, and Waimea. The Hawaii Region
is strongly influenced by the unique sense of
community in the islands, where the aloha spirit
prevails. Our physicians and staff work together
in the pursuit of excellence, with the goal of
continuing to improve the lives and health of
our Island communities. Kaiser Permanente
Hawaii has received an "Excellent" overall rating
by 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 the NCQA which reviews
satisfaction surveys, preventive measures, physician
credentialing, member services and improvement
initiatives.* In NCQA's The State of Health
Care Quality 2003, our Hawaii plan scored in
top five on clinical measures of quality care.
In addition, the Joint Commission, the hospital
industry's leading accreditation agency, accredits
the Hawaii Region. For more information
