Kaiser Permanente Orange County's Community Benefit Program this year has distributed more than $550,000 to 35 local nonprofits and community health clinics that provide free or low-cost services to the underserved and uninsured.
The health-care services provider recognized this year's grantees on Wednesday at its Kraemer Medical Center Campus in Anaheim during its annual Celebration of Community Partnerships Breakfast.
The grantees were honored for their dedication to Orange County's underserved through their efforts to improve access to health care and insurance, strengthen chronic disease prevention and education services, and reduce obesity among individuals.
"This is part of our mission of being a true community-based health-care services provider," said Julie Miller-Phipps, senior vice president and executive director of Kaiser Permanente Orange County.
The medical provider services more than 409,000 members in Orange County through its network of 5,600 employees and 840 physicians.
