Kaiser Permanente Gives $1M Grant for Physician Diversity
Kaiser Permanente has awarded a $1 million grant to the National Medical Fellowships organization in an attempt to increase diversity among physicians. In a statement, Kaiser said efforts to increase the number of black and Latino physicians in the U.S. "will have a positive impact on health outcomes" because many patients select their physicians based on their own ethnic background.
