 State-of-the-Heart Care at Kaiser Permanente 

Every heart deserves high-quality care. No matter your employees’ needs, Kaiser Permanente helps keep their hearts healthy with experienced doctors, cutting-edge technology, and the latest evidence-based care.

Kaiser Permanente is Colorado’s leading nonprofit (1) health plan and one of the state’s largest health care providers. We take a different approach to health care by combining care and coverage. This means that Kaiser Permanente’s 1,200+ Colorado doctors and health plan benefits are connected. Our care teams collaborate using a shared electronic health record to coordinate members’ care.

Members also have the flexibility of choosing a doctor from our network of more than 21,000 affiliated providers along the Front Range.

Supporting healthier, longer lives

Prevention is at the heart of Kaiser Permanente’s approach to cardiac care. We understand the importance of regularly checking heart health numbers and tracking them over time. Automatic reminders from our electronic health record help members stay current with preventive screenings. This allows us to spot problems earlier and start treatment sooner.

Our connected model of primary care doctors, specialists, and care team members consulting seamlessly is why Kaiser Permanente leads the state in controlling high blood pressure (2), and our members are 33% less likely to experience premature death due to heart disease (3).

Kaiser Permanente is investing in our southern Colorado footprint. Construction is underway on a brand-new, 15,500-square-foot medical office that will replace our current Pueblo North location. Scheduled to open in late 2025, the new Pueblo North medical offices will provide more space to deliver primary care, some specialty care, and pharmacy, lab, and imaging services under one roof. 

With 5 medical offices in Southern Colorado, Kaiser Permanente makes it easier to get care —when, where, and how members need it.
