Q:What is Community Benefit?

Kaiser Permanente of Georgia cares for people – both inside and outside of the exam room. As a non-profit, tax exempt health plan, our idea of health care goes beyond the walls of our medical facilities and into the communities we serve.

Community Benefit supports efforts that improve access to care for all – especially the low-income and underserved – and create healthy, vibrant communities. We work to benefit the community at-large by addressing issues and concerns that affect its overall health.

Community Benefit is more than what we do; it’s who we are.
