A labor strike is underway at Kaiser Permanente

The United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (UNAC/UHCP) is conducting an open-ended strike at some of our facilities in Southern California.

Our hospitals and medical offices remain open, and you can rely on us for the high-quality care you deserve. We’ve put strong plans in place to ensure your care continues without interruption.

Appointments during the strike

If you have an appointment scheduled during the strike, please don't cancel or reschedule. We’ll contact you in advance if your appointment or services need to be rescheduled.

Your care and well-being remain central to everything we do. Thank you for your understanding, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

What facilities are affected

Currently, the following departments are affected:

How to get prescriptions

Some of our pharmacies are closed during the strike. Our open pharmacies may be operating during adjusted hours, or experiencing long wait times. You can avoid the wait and fill nonurgent prescriptions and refill prescriptions using our mail-order pharmacy. For urgent prescriptions, please visit any open Kaiser Permanente pharmacy.
