We are delighted to announce that Kaiser Permanente Hawaii will be presented the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Award for Distinguished Community Service at the Gala. Kaiser Permanente’s commitment to total health extends beyond the doctor’s office to improving the well-being of the communities they serve.
