Kaiser Permanente Washington's Gender Health Patient Advisory Panel has 12-15 members who meet four to six times a year to discuss the Kaiser Permanente care experiences — and how it can better serve our gender-diverse members. The Committee has been in existence since 2020 and is an important source of input for Kaiser Permanente Washington leaders.
Panel scope:
The Gender Health Patient Advisory Panel is an advisory group organized to promote, advise, and suggest:
- The panel’s purpose is to promote effective use of gender-based health care services within Kaiser Permanente Washington.
- Advise Kaiser Permanente Washington regarding ways to innovate care delivery for transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse patients.
- Suggest ways and means that the program can better serve transgender, non-binary, and gender- diverse health plan members.
Panel members:
- Must be Kaiser Permanente Washington insured members and maintain their enrollment in order to remain members of the Panel.
- Cannot be employed by Kaiser Permanente or the Washington Permanente Medical Group. Previous employees will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Must be over 18.
- Identify as gender-diverse, transgender, non-binary, or gender-expansive.
