Every heart deserves high-quality care. No matter your employees’ needs, Kaiser Permanente helps keep their hearts healthy with experienced doctors, cutting-edge technology, and the latest evidence-based care.

Kaiser Permanente is Colorado’s leading nonprofit1 health plan and one of the state’s largest health care providers. We take a different approach to health care by combining care and coverage. This means that Kaiser Permanente’s 1,200+ Colorado doctors and health plan benefits are connected. Our care teams collaborate using a shared electronic health record to coordinate members’ care.

Recognizing and treating an unexpected heart problem — fast 

During a routine annual physical, Rich Maloy’s primary care doctor discovered a congenital heart defect that had gone undetected his entire life. Watch to learn how Rich’s Kaiser Permanente care team helped catch his condition early and perform a timely, lifesaving surgery.

“It’s a very special thing when you can have that…level of trust with your primary care doctor…I think this is a unique aspect of Kaiser Permanente with this integrated model because the doctors are focused on the patient. – Rich Maloy, Kaiser Permanente Colorado member

Supporting healthier, longer lives

Prevention is at the heart of Kaiser Permanente’s approach to cardiac care. We understand the importance of regularly checking heart health numbers and tracking them over time. Automatic reminders from our electronic health record help members stay current with preventive screenings. This allows us to spot problems earlier and start treatment sooner.

Our connected model of primary care doctors, specialists, and care team members consulting seamlessly is why Kaiser Permanente leads the state in controlling high blood pressure2 and our members are 33% less likely to experience premature death due to heart disease.3
