Supporting your event

Sponsorship opportunities

Kaiser Permanente strengthens its external presence by taking a strategic approach to sponsorship of events and conferences. This differentiates us in the marketplace, helps highlight our core values, and showcases the skill and leadership of our physicians and employees when it comes to important public policy and community issues.

  • For general events, please submit your application at least 60 days prior.
