Lifestyle

Our residency program values work-life balance. In Southern California, recreational opportunities abound.

The Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center is nestled at the foot of the Hollywood Hills within a mile of Griffith Park, close to the Los Angeles Zoo, the Observatory, Dodger Stadium and the Greek Theatre. Centrally located, the hospital is near several major freeways, allowing for convenient access. Head north on the 101 Freeway, swing through Malibu Canyon, and you will find yourself at Southern California's renowned beaches; from there, Santa Barbara is a one-hour drive up the Pacific Coast Highway. The many local mountain and desert resorts, such as Lake Arrowhead and Palm Springs, are also easily accessible.

Los Angeles has many of the recreational and cultural activities of any large metropolitan city. UCLA and Westwood Village are nearby. Major theatres can be found in downtown Los Angeles, Century City, and Hollywood. The West Hollywood arts community and the fabulous shopping and dining of Beverly Hills are only 20 minutes away by car. Due west are Santa Monica and Venice, offering the recreational and relaxed lifestyle of beachside communities.
