Health Education Classes

The Health Education Department offers classes and support groups for members and nonmembers with various physical and/or psychological symptoms. All classes are held at Kaiser Permanente facility locations and require pre-registration. Some classes are supported by your health plan dues and some are not, so fees vary from class to class. Please check the class listings or contact the Health Education Department for information. Select a link below to learn more about classes. 

For more information or to register for a class please call us at (408) 972-3340. 

Class locations can be found by checking information kiosks in the lobbies of the Hospital, Medical Office Building, One North, and Family Health Center.  Facility MapPDF  File size: 116 KB

Program fees listed are subject to change and may depend on your health plan coverage. Please refer to your current Evidence of Coverage to confirm the services covered under your plan.

Cancellation Policy

If you request a withdrawal from a class 48 hours prior to the starting date, a refund will be provided. Once a class begins, we are unable to provide a refund. On rare occasions, we may cancel a class due to low enrollment or other circumstances beyond our control. In this event, refunds will be issued as soon as possible as appropriate.
