Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente is spending at least $500 million and hiring hundreds of physicians to expand its reach to the East Coast, according to a Nashville Business Journal report.
The non-profit's mid-Atlantic division is building four clinics in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Kaiser is purchasing "prominent real estate" and investing in high-end equipment, according to the report. Permanente Medical Group, Kaiser's staff physician practice, has hired 200 physicians in the D.C. area.
Marilyn Kawamura, CEO of Kaiser's mid-Atlantic region, previously told the Nashville Business Journal the goal "is to bring the way we really operate and serve our members in California to the mid-Atlantic region," according to a Nov. 2010 report.
