Nursing professional governance
Our nursing governance is strongly influenced by the Magnet Recognition Program®, the gold standard for nursing excellence. Nursing councils at Kaiser Permanente serve as decision-making bodies that lead and support nursing excellence and improve organizational performance. These councils include nurses and nurse leaders, and multidisciplinary stakeholders from all markets and care disciplines. This structure invites and supports a wide range of perspectives, expertise, and thought leadership that encourages collaboration, upholds ethical standards, and welcomes open, transparent communication.
