What are Kaiser Permanente core hospitals?
As a Kaiser Permanente member, you probably already know the value of “coordinated care”
Your doctor works closely with specialists, pharmacies, labs, therapists, and many other professionals — all up to the minute on your health — for a better care experience.
When you need inpatient or outpatient hospital care, we’ve chosen award-winning hospitals to team with for coordinating your care. These hospitals, located throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, are our “core hospitals.”1 More Kaiser Permanente doctors will be at these hospitals, so your care will be even more coordinated and timely.
How we work together with core hospitals
Kaiser Permanente is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for our members. We regularly review how and where we deliver care to make sure it’s safe, effective, and affordable, and we carefully select core hospitals to team with in taking great care of you.
These hospitals were chosen for their strong performance in quality, safety, and patient experience, as well as their collaboration with Kaiser Permanente.
How we choose core hospitals
To qualify, each hospital has been carefully evaluated — and is regularly reassessed — for the quality of care, comfort, and services it provides. All core hospitals are evaluated by independent third-party safety and quality rankings, and offer top-rated, award-winning care.
1Kaiser Permanente core hospitals are independently owned and operated hospitals and are not affiliated entities of Kaiser Permanente. The continued availability and/or participation of any hospital cannot be guaranteed. Hospital addresses, telephone numbers, and hours of operation are subject to change. Please see kp.org/corehospitals for details.
