Permanente Medicine in Action

A patient was able to resume his studies at California State University after TPMG specialists at the neuro-interventional suite successfully cleared blood clots at the base of his brain.

Kaiser Permanente Northern and Southern California are the only health organizations to earn a four-star rating—the highest possible—from California’s Office of the Patient Advocate (OPA).

The future is bright for a 20 year old patient, diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who was treated by TPMG specialists in pediatric hematology and oncology.

TPMG’s CEO, Dr. Robert Pearl, was interviewed, along with medical school professors, about problems with the U.S. healthcare system. Dr. Pearl advocates for more integration of care.

TPMG’s 8,000 physicians in Northern California are nationally recognized for the excellence of the care they provide.

The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA), a national nonprofit dedicated to improving health care quality, has recognized all Kaiser Permanente’s Northern California locations with its highest-level accreditation.

A 92-year old patient had a life-saving, minimally invasive TAVR at KP San Francisco, which is ranked in the top 50 Best Hospitals for Cardiology and Heart Surgery by U.S. News & World Report.
