This past week we marked Kaiser Permanente’s 75th anniversary – that’s 75 years of dedicated, compassionate service in adding more healthy years to the lives of our members and communities. Our beginning was founded on a vision that there were better ways to keep people healthy. Today, we’re continuing the advancement of our founding vision for better care outcomes and healthier communities – but we’re taking it to a whole new level with the entry of the first class of 50 medical students at the new Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine. The school was founded on the belief that there was a need for change in the way medical education prepares future physicians to address the 21st century health needs of diverse patients, consumers, and communities.
