Northwest Permanente is the largest medical group in Oregon and Southwest Washington, delivering integrated, value-based care to more than 600,000 Kaiser Permanente members across the region. For more than 80 years, our mission has been to provide quality, evidence-based care that is physician-led and person-centered.

Recognized for clinical excellence

Northwest Permanente physicians frequently receive top honors and recognition for their work. For the last five years, we’ve had more physicians named Top Doctors by Portland Monthly Magazine than any other system in the region. Sunnyside Medical Center was named Oregon’s #1 hospital for cardiology, heart and vascular surgery by U.S. News & World Report and was also recognized as a Best Regional Hospital for 2026-2027.

Known as a “best place to work”

Northwest Permanente’s work environment has also earned national recognition. In 2025, our commitment to reducing clinician burnout and improving professional fulfillment earned our medical group silver-level recognition as a Joy in Medicine Health Organization by the American Medical Association. In 2026, Newsweek recognized Northwest Permanente as one of America’s Greatest Midsize Workplaces in Healthcare.

Committed to improving community health

For the physicians, clinicians, and administrative teams of Northwest Permanente, our calling extends beyond the clinic. Every year, we work closely with community partners to address some of the most important issues affecting our communities, including food insecurity and housing. In 2025 alone, members of our medical group contributed more than 4,860 volunteer hours to causes throughout our region.
