You should always expect great care. But when you’re dealing with a serious health issue, you deserve care that exceeds your expectations. Kaiser Permanente members get great doctors, the latest technology, and evidence-based care — all working together for one important cause. You.
We use robust predictive data to identify members at higher risk for certain serious illnesses, develop targeted treatment plans that help minimize side effects, and more.
Our cardiac care programs include cutting-edge transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgeries to replace heart valves without open-heart surgery. That means shorter recovery times, smaller scars, and less time in the hospital — just 1 or 2 days on average, versus a week or more for open heart surgeries.
We use industry-leading technologies to perform minimally invasive treatment for cancer while avoiding nearby healthy tissue. Surgeons can perform operations faster and more precisely, and recovery times are shorter than with traditional surgeries.
ERAS replaces the traditional fasting, bed rest, and opioids with soft foods, standing or walking soon after surgery, and nonnarcotic painkillers. The results? Shorter hospital stays, fewer complications after surgery, and faster recoveries.
