Kaiser Permanente is working to become the leader in providing mental health care for its members and patients—and ultimately, an innovative model for the delivery of mental health and wellness in the community. KP aims to define the vision of innovative 21st century mental health and wellness with emerging technologies, a high-quality community of providers, and evidence-based care with measured outcomes.

At this event, Dr. Don Mordecai, Kaiser Permanente’s National Leader for Mental Health and Wellness (MHW), discussed Kaiser Permanente’s current and future MHW priorities and needs, novel technologies and approaches to MHW and examples of successful innovative MHW partnerships, and factors to positive engagement with Kaiser Permanente. There were ~80 attendees, with a mix of venture, startup, and traditional healthcare leaders.
