Connecting to the Community
Kaiser Permanente believes health care is more than an industry—it’s a cause. Our work to benefit the community is an essential part of our mission, part of our DNA.
We believe that many non-profit community-based organizations share the same mission and values. That is why we want to help them continue to provide much needed services during these challenging times for families, friends and communities.
To do so, Kaiser Permanente in the Central Valley is launching a Connecting to the Community Web site to make it easier for our members and employees to give back to the community through volunteerism.
We appreciate your willingness to serve and want to leverage the energy and enthusiasm you demonstrate over and over again. To help you identify available volunteer opportunities, this page links you to organizations that can benefit from your spirit of giving and service.
