Kaiser Permanente as the Model for Healthcare
Kaiser Santa Clara Internal Medicine Residency Mission Statement
"To equip resident physicians to practice as life-long learners at the frontier of modern medicine."
Here at Kaiser Permanente we believe that in many ways we define the frontier of modern medicine, and that our residents will be uniquely poised to function as leaders in the future of United States healthcare. We are not alone in this opinion. Here are a few examples about how people are talking nationally about Kaiser Permanente:
“Many experts agree that whatever happens in the health reform debate, a good model is Kaiser Permanente.”
Robert Bazell
NBC chief science correspondent

“If we could actually get our health-care system across the board to hit the efficiency levels of a Kaiser Permanente or a Cleveland Clinic or a Mayo or a Geisinger, we actually would have solved our problems.”
President Barack Obama
Time Magazine Interview
July 2009
“If you want a peek at what the future of U.S. health care might look like, visit your nearest Kaiser Permanente facility.”
