The float also features Kaiser Permanente members, care teams, and community partners standing on and walking alongside it. Many have inspiring stories of how the “best day ever” is possible when physical, emotional, and mental health are aligned. Float participants will be announced in December.
“Kaiser Permanente is privileged to serve our members, patients, and communities, and we are unwavering in our dedication to their total health and well-being,” said Greg A. Adams, chair and chief executive officer, Kaiser Permanente. “Our commitment to helping people live long, healthy, active lives is built on our 80-year history of providing high-quality and affordable health care and coverage and our focus on improving physical, mental, and social health.”
