To cater to the needs of its members, Kaiser Permanente will also integrate its speciality care physicians and employees into St Anthony Hospital, St. Anthony North Hospital, and OrthoColorado Hospital from 2025.
The range of specialists includes hospitalists, cardiologists, general surgeons, orthopaedists, pulmonologists, and palliative care physicians, among others.
CommonSpirit Mountain Region president Andrew Gaasch said: “By combining our medical expertise and commitment to compassionate care, CommonSpirit Health and Kaiser Permanente are building a comprehensive, long-term relationship that will reshape how and where healing can happen.
“We know healing close to home is important to every patient, and through this collaboration, we look forward to welcoming Kaiser Permanente members and ensuring every patient experiences outstanding care and service when they need us most.”
Kaiser Permanente members in Southern Colorado have already been accessing CommonSpirit hospitals in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Cañon City for many years.
Kaiser Permanente will also invest in the construction of new medical offices and the renovation of its existing 29 medical offices across the Front Range.
