Kaiser Permanente is Most Recommended Health System in California, Says Women’s Choice

The Women’s Choice Award, one of America’s most trusted referral sources for brands and services, distributed a statewide survey to more than 10,000 women who reside in California. Those women were asked to identify which health insurance plan they would highly recommend to their families and friends. Kaiser Permanente was the clear winner, garnering a significant majority of the vote.

“Kaiser Permanente members know that our patient-centered, physician-led, integrated care delivery system consistently delivers high-quality, affordable care,” said Julie Miller-Phipps, president of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals, Inc., for the Southern California Region. “So it’s natural for our members to consistently recommend Kaiser Permanente to their friends and family members.”

About 8.5 million Californians are members of Kaiser Permanente. They’re cared for by a network of nearly 16,000 physicians at 36 hospitals and nearly 500 outpatient facilities across the Golden State. Kaiser Permanente offers its members a coordinated approach to health care delivery, connected by an industry-leading electronic medical record system, Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect®. With easy-to-use, web-based tools, members have online access to useful health information, medical records and tools to communicate with their care team. They also have the ability to email their doctors, schedule appointments, check test results and order prescription refills online – all at no additional cost.

According to Greenfield Online, women influence more than 90% of family healthcare decisions, even as they juggle work, family life and personal time. With the mission of simplifying a woman’s life, the Women’s Choice Award conducts national surveys distributed to tens of thousands of women, asking them to determine which brands and services they would highly recommended. In today’s cluttered marketplace, seeing the Women’s Choice Award seal allows women to easily identify the best brands and services for herself and her family - leaving more time for what matters most.
