Kaiser Permanente has chosen award-winning hospitals to team with when you need inpatient or outpatient care. These hospitals are our “core hospitals” — please note that we are transitioning from the term “premier hospitals.”
At a Kaiser Permanente core hospital, your care will be guided around the clock by Permanente physicians who exclusively care for our members at that hospital. Permanente doctors and specialists will work hand in hand with hospital staff and physicians and will have access to our members digital health records.
At our core hospitals, you’ll have access to a wide range of care provided by Permanente hospitalists and specialists. This means you’ll receive care from doctors who know your health history and work closely with your care teams. Services may include:
Our goal is to make sure your care is coordinated, timely, and centered around you — whether you need specialized treatment or routine hospital care.
To qualify, each hospital has been carefully evaluated — and is regularly reassessed — for the quality of care, comfort, and services it provides. Staff at core hospitals share our commitment to your health and well-being. We work together for the best possible outcomes.
