Ensuring access to
careWe know how important having a medical home is to maintaining optimal health. In all o our care-relatedeorts, this is our goal to make sure the uninsured, underinsured, and underserved in our communities haveaccess to consistent, quality care that a stable medical home oers.
In 2008, our medical fnancial assistance and charitable coverage programs
served more than 200,000 people in Southern Caliornia.
In addition to the direct care we provide to people in need through Kaiser Permanente emergency rooms, hospitals, and medical oces,we also work closely with a saety net o community clinics, public health departments, public hospitals, and other organizations to und
and sta sustainable programs.

A place to call
homeFrom the ree or low-cost care provided throughour Medical Financial Assistance program tothe uninsured in our emergency rooms, hospitals, and medical oces
to the subsidies we provide or charitable coverage through our support
o government programs such as Medi-Cal and Healthy Families,
Kaiser Permanentes commitment to caring or the uninsured and
underinsured is clear.
Our primary objective through these assistance programs is to broaden
access to those who need a medical home. We want to provide a placewhere they can consistently get preventive care and where they will
have access to the critical specialty care that they need. Because Kaiser
Permanente is an integrated health care system, we have an advantage
in making this happen everything is available in one place.
Strengthening the
saety netUninsured and underinsured patientsdont have many options when itcomes to medical care. Kaiser Permanente Community Beneft is working
to change that in Southern Caliornia. We do this in three key ways:
Facilitating dialogue and improvements in the system
Funding programs that provide the necessary care
Sharing experience and expertise
Whether we help community medical acilities,
put proven protocols in place with programs
like Vital Signs, or enable homeless
care by unding recuperative beds in
Los Angeles and much-needed stang
at the Bakersfeld Homeless Center,
we provide fnancial and other supportto a wide array o programs that help
strengthen the saety net in many ways.

While Community Beneft has historically helped increase access
to primary care, we discovered that access to specialists has been
limited. Te Specialty Care Initiative launched in 2008 with theissuance o planning grants unded by three partners, including
Kaiser Permanente. Our goal is to acilitate collaboration between
public hospitals, community clinics, and others so patients get the
specialty care they need.

relationships and acilitate discussions to expand access to care.
wo key examples o this are our ools or Quality program
and Specialty Care Initiative.
In the ools or Quality eort, we have helped establish a
collaborative o six unding partners to assist 33 community clinics
across the state to acquire and implement comprehensive diseaseregistry and chronic disease sotware. By putting these tools in
place, clinics can improve their quality o care by extracting and
analyzing data about patient treatment and using it or more
proactive patient outreach.

Sharing our experience and
resourcesAs one o the nations largest healthcare organizations, Kaiser Permanenteis home to a great deal o expertise. Sharing this knowledge and broadening
its use has become an important unction o Community Beneft. For many
years, our physicians and health care proessionals have donated their time
and talents to organizations throughout the community.
Te University Muslim Medical Association (UMMA) community clinic, the
frst ederally-qualifed Muslim operated clinic in the U.S., was co-ounded
by Alta Kazi, MD, a Kaiser Permanente pediatrician. UMMA continues toreceive unding through Community Beneft.
At the Venice Family Clinic, Kaiser Permanente medical residents serve as
volunteers under the guidance o Jimmy Hara, MD, chairman o the clinics
board and director o amily medicine residency at Kaiser Permanente Los
Angeles Medical Center.
In addition to unding, Community Beneft also coordinated the donation o
in-kind construction project management to help build a new 20,000-square-
oot health acility with 25 examination rooms, a new dental acility, teaching
spaces, and administrative oces. With this expansion, the clinic can now
handle 50 percent more medical visits annually.
Kaiser Permanente Community Beneft has helped the San Diego Council
o Community Clinics and Riverside County Regional Medical Center
implement an evidence-based intervention to prevent cardiovascular disease
in diabetic patients. Developed at Kaiser Permanente by R. James Dudl, MD,
the aspirin, lisinopril, and lovastatin (ALL) protocol replaces a complicated
regimen requiring multiple visits with three cost-eective pills taken once a

raining the best and
brightestEducating tomorrows medical proessionalsis a core ocus o our Community Benefteorts. More than just traditional schooling, we emphasize programs that
oer real-world experience. Our Community Medicine Fellowships allow
Kaiser Permanente residents the opportunity to provide care in community
clinic settings in Los Angeles, Orange County, and Woodland Hills under the
direction o our physicians. Tis program is scheduled to expand in the near
uture, with new locations in Fontana and Riverside.
Were also doing everything we can to minimize the impact o the ongoing
nursing shortage. We established the School o Anesthesia in 1972 when we
saw the valuable care that advanced practice nurses could oer. Te school is
ranked among the top-ten anesthesia programs byU.S. News & World Report
and is the number one trainer o Certifed Registered Nurse Anesthetists in
the state o Caliornia. Community Beneft unding helped secure an additional
aculty position or the school and supported its eorts in distance learning and
the new associates degree program with Pasadena City College.
Playing an integral part in our
communitiesA number o KaiserPermanente SouthernCaliornia Community Beneft programs ocus on the importance o outreach
and establishing an ongoing presence in our communities. Since 1967, the
Watts Counseling and Learning Center has provided quality counseling and
educational services to the surrounding community. Te center oers:
Various counseling programs College preparation classes
Educational assessment and therapy Child development services
Summer enrichment activities A nationally accredited preschool
Pre-employment training classes
All o the unding or the program and its 30-person sta is provided by
Community Beneft. Te Watts Center also served as the model or our
Baldwin Park Educational Outreach Program. In 2008, this center in the
San Gabriel Valley ocused on helping the community residents advocate or
themselves. While the program continued many o its established outreach
eorts, one notable success last year was the adoption o the City Lactation
and Accommodation olerance Policy to ensure creation o a child-riendly
municipal environment that supports breasteeding.
At Kaiser Permanente Southern Caliornia Community Beneft, were always
looking or ways to increase the impact o our most valuable assets our people.
More than just writing a check or unding the purchase o equipment, the
opportunity to take our medical expertise into the community can have a ar
reaching eect. Tat is the motivation behind our Raymond Kay Fellowships
program. In 2008, the program enabled fve primary care nurse practitioners
and physicians assistants to take a paid sabbatical and serve their community.
Not only did these individuals help their assigned clinics with patient
workload, they also established outreach programs and enabled access to
Kaiser Permanente educational resources to improve the quality o care.

Bringing our communities
back to basicsEating and exerciseare two o the mostundamental ways we, as human beings, take care o ourselves. But, making
the right choices isnt always easy, especially in communities where produce
is not readily available, junk ood is prevalent, and where open spaces
and sae, exercise-riendly areas arent easily accessed. Tats why Kaiser
Permanente Southern Caliornia Community Beneft has made this a
critical area o unding.
More than $2 million was investedin encouraging healthy eating
and active living in ourcommunities in 2008.

Making healthy ood choices
more appealingMore than justcore curriculum,our schools are a place or learning about lie. What would happen i we treated
the caeteria as a dierent kind o classroom? Tats what the Healthy School
Food Coalition has done in the Los Angeles Unifed School District. As a result
o this groups eorts and the $50,000 it received in 2008 rom Community
Beneft, parents and students have seen important changes in what the second
largest school district in the country is teaching our kids about eating.
Tis collaborative o parents, students, and administrators has succeeded in
having an impact throughout the district. From banning on-campus soda and
junk ood to obesity intervention and caeteria improvements, changes are
happening on every level. By encouraging the district to hire an executive
che to improve the menus, getting students involved in menu design, and an
ongoing eort to eliminate the stigma o eating in the caeteria, the collaborative
has increased meal program participation and has ensured that our kids have
healthy options and better ood education.
Helping communities exercise
their optionsIn areas where gyms are notavailable or economically viableoptions, how can we encourage exercise and make it a community priority?
Tat is a question Community Beneft works closely with our grant partners
to eectively answer. WalkSanDiego has been addressing these issues by creating
a saer pedestrian environment in west Chula Vista, working with schools,
citizens, promotoras, and local youth to improve the local neighborhoods
environment or walking and biking and make areas like Lauderbach Park saer
and more inviting. By clearing out overgrown plants and enhancing planned
city improvements such as new restrooms, drinking ountains, and playground
equipment, the WalkSanDiego grant has helped make these areas more secure
and useable.
In parks in Los Angeles County, the rust or Public Land Partnership has
transormed open, unused space into outdoor gyms. In the 11 ftness zone
sites installed so ar, the trust has ound that expanding a communitys exercise
options is very well received. From senior citizens working out together to
parents using the equipment while they wait or their kids to fnish baseball or
soccer practice, the acilities are almost always busy. Te easy-to-use equipment
is ideal or any ftness level. And most importantly, the ftness zones have
become hubs o community activity by creating a group atmosphere that eels
sae and social and helps people be more active.
