Kaiser Permanente opens community health hub in California

System's new clinic is first of planned healthcare facilities to offer care and wellness education


Kaiser Permanente has opened a community health hub in Manhattan Beach, Calif., that is the first of 10 planned healthcare facilities to offer care and wellness education, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The new 8,000-square-foot clinic is the first to open as construction continues or starts on nine other sites in Southern California.

Instead of heading home after their appointments, Kaiser Permanente hopes patients will linger in and around the clinics and take advantage of the educational programs and activities, the article said.

The new facility design includes a waiting room featuring natural light, wood furnishings and live plants. The exam room emphasizes comfort and ease of communication with the doctor.
