Thriving Communities A three-year report of community benefit, relationships, and giving in support of a healthier Hawaii. 2014-2016
Caring for our KP giving by the numbers: 2014 2016 community At Kaiser Permanente, we believe total health caring for the body, mind, and spirit gives people the freedom to pursue the things they want in life. When they have access to healthy foods, fresh water, safe and clean environments, activities they enjoy, and quality health care, the effect is clear. They thrive. Kaiser Permanente s commitment to total health extends beyond the doctor s office to improving the well-being of the communities we serve. Our partnerships in the public and private sector make an impact on people, policies, and places across our island home. Together, we amplify our shared mission to build healthier communities all over Hawaii and make wellness achievable for all. Why we give Kaiser Permanente s approach to philanthropy is simple we focus on people, policies, and places. This enables us to make meaningful, lasting change that touches the lives of individuals where they live, learn, work, and play. $1.7 million invested in community health initiatives 153 schools ols impacted $445,977 in Community Relations sponsorships Statewide impact Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii Counties $1 million invested in safety net partnerships $2.8 million in Community Benefit grants and donations 110,000 keiki reached 70 partnerships with local organizations and institutions in support of community health
People What makes Hawaii unique? It s the people that live here. We are lucky to be part of a diverse community made up of many different ethnicities and backgrounds. However, some of our multiethnic and minority populations suffer from health disparities related to genetics, environment, and socioeconomic factors. Our partnering organizations work to remove the barriers that people in vulnerable communities face: poverty, a shortage of healthy foods, and the struggle to manage chronic conditions without adequate access to health care. Addressing these issues head-on through policy and vital services helps entire populations overcome health disparities, giving everyone the potential to thrive.

Policy Drinking up the benefits of water 72 Improving the health of an entire state is no small task. Policy makes it possible for many organizations to come together to create meaningful change. Kaiser Permanente works closely with our community partners to enact new policies that help shape lifestyle choices and build healthier communities overall. When government agencies, schools, nonprofits and businesses unite toward the common goal of improving community health, a transformative impact can occur. Through active advocacy and partnerships, our focus on policy helps build brighter futures for everyone.

Schools are taking steps to help keiki cut down on sugary beverages, leading to lower rates of childhood obesity.

Schools who implement these policies can earn water bottle filling stations through the Hawaii 5210 Initiative, which encourages keiki to choose water whenever possible.

Place Healthy lifestyles aren t created in the doctor s office, but in places where we live, learn, work, and play. Kaiser Permanente s place-based philanthropy focuses on transforming the physical spaces where people spend their days in order to cultivate a healthy community. We believe that a community should be a hub for healthy, active living, where everyone from keiki to kupuna can safely walk, bike, and play outdoors. When schools, workplaces, homes, roads, and neighborhoods support a healthy and active lifestyle, the difference can be felt through our entire community.
