State-of-the-Heart Care at Kaiser Permanente

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 provide world-class 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 your electronic health record make it easier for you to stay current with preventive screenings. This helps us 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

More ways to care for you

Kaiser Permanente is growing alongside the metro Denver community. Construction is underway on two brand-new medical offices in Parker and Lakewood. Scheduled to open in late 2025, the 22,400-square-foot Parker Medical Offices will provide more space to deliver primary care, pharmacy, lab, and imaging services under one roof. Our new 116,500-square-foot, 3-story Lakewood Medical Offices are scheduled to open mid-year 2026. Designed to improve patient experience, this location will provide both primary and urgent care in the same building, with a focus on innovative technology and environmental sustainability.

With 29 medical offices along Colorado’s Front Range, Kaiser Permanente makes it easier to get care — when, where, and how you need it.
