Our Mission For South Sacramento: To provide the highest quality medical care with the best service to all communities. Kaiser Permanente has prospered for 60 years through innovation and development in response to the changing health care environment. A key to the endurance of this organization has been the high quality of our physicians and staff and our unique integration and exclusive partnership between The Permanente Medical Group, the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals.

Top 10 reasons why Kaiser Permanente is the best place for medical care:

1. Integrated Health Care Delivery. Our physicians, The Permanente Medical Group, work in a unique association with our health plan (Kaiser Health Plan and Hospitals) to ensure the finest health care available.
2. Physician-led health care. There are no insurance administrators to interfere with the care recommended by your doctor.
3. Outstanding physicians. Due to our 3.2 million member patient population, many of our physicians are national leaders in their fields. Many of our physicians teach at the University of California Davis School of Medicine.
4. Very easy access to referrals. Physicians can refer for specialty care quickly and easily, without prior approval from an insurance administrator.
5. Team approach to care. We have pioneered an electronic medical record health information system that allows quick transfer of all records from primary care to specialty physicians. Your records are kept secure and can be easily transferred to all consulting physicians.
6. Convenient locations. Members can choose from more than 150 locations throughout California. We have three locations in the south area community, and we also operate the South Sacramento Cancer Center as a joint venture with the U.S. Cancer Management Corporation.

7. Simple to use. Our information technology, combined with our integrated delivery system, allows for electronic prescription refills, appointment making, a full electronic health encyclopedia, secure messaging to your provider and the ability to email your doctor by signing up at kaiser permanente.org.
8. Comprehensive preventative care. Our health education and preventative care programs are unmatched by any health plan or health care organization.
9. Non-profit health care. Our priority is high-quality medical care, not shareholder profits; therefore our physicians can make the best patient-care decisions without needing to consult with administrators, accountants, or insurance adjustors. All earnings are reinvested in operations or capital improvements in the form of lower rates and facility or technological improvements.
10. Recognized by experts. Kaiser Permanente consistently receives high marks in quality and service from state and national independent health care experts like the National Committee for Quality Assurance, the California Cooperative Healthcare Reporting Initiative, and the California Office of the Patient Advocate as well as national media like Newsweek, New York Times, NBC Nightly News, and the U.S. News & World Report.
