Kaiser Permanente Chairman, CEO George Halvorson to Retire

George Halvorson, chairman and CEO of Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente, has announced that he will retire in December 2013.

Mr. Halvorson has served as chairman and CEO of Kaiser since 2002. He led the decision to implement Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect, an enterprise-wide electronic health records system. Under his leadership, Kaiser Permanente has grown to serve more than 9 million members.

He serves on several boards, including the National Committee for Quality Assurance, America's Health Insurance Plans and the Alliance of Community Health Plans. He also chairs the International Federation of Health Plans and is involved in many other national committees.

Mr. Halvorson announced his retirement a year in advance in order to give the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Health Plan board of directors enough time to find and transition his successor.
