A one-stop shop for finding a wide variety of wellness programs and services for Kaiser Permanente members, including health guides, online and facility-based classes, health assessments, tips and calculators, podcasts and videos, and much more. Start by taking the Total Health Assessment.
Our health calculators are powerful, easy-to-use tools that are designed to help members live better lives. Members can use our virtual toolkit to find out if they're at a healthy weight, if they're getting enough calcium, and to calculate their due date if they're pregnant, among other things.
Kaiser Permanente offers healthy resources online as well as classes at our medical centers to help members prevent and manage diabetes. We’ve partnered with Omada Health to bring our members a Diabetes Prevention Program recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Omada is a leading digital health program that provides tools and support for losing weight and reducing risk factors for type 2 diabetes — from the convenience of home. Participants get a professional health coach, a wireless scale linked to their account, peer support, and other resources to assist in making health a habit.
Omada is offered at no cost to eligible members. Eligible participants include dependent members over 18 years old who meet the requirements to participate in the diabetes prevention program, and who have:
- A body mass index (BMI) of 25 or greater (for self-identified Asians, the BMI threshold is 23 or greater)
- A hemoglobin A1c test with a value between 57% and 64%, or a fasting plasma glucose of 110–125 mg/dL, or a two-hour post-glucose challenge of 140–199 mg/dL (oral glucose tolerance test)
- Self-reported previous diagnosis of gestational diabetes
- No previous diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes
Your mind and body are connected. You deserve care that supports your total health — mind, body, and spirit. As a Kaiser Permanente member, you have access to a broad range of mental health and addiction care options. But even if you feel ready to seek out mental health support, it can be difficult to know where to start. You can talk about your concerns with anyone on your care team at any time, and they’ll connect you to the support you need.
Visit Get Care to explore your care options.
Kaiser Permanente offers world-class digital self-care apps Calm and Headspace Care (formerly called Ginger) at no cost to our members to support their mental health and emotional well-being.
- Calm is a leading app focused on mindfulness, meditation, and improving sleep and can help our members develop self-care skills.
- Headspace Care (formerly called Ginger) is an app for sleep and meditation — designed to help lower stress, anxiety, and more.
Members don’t need to choose between the apps. Members can access Calm and Headspace Care and use the apps as much as they want. To gain no-cost access to these apps, Kaiser Permanente members must start by clicking the unique registrations links found on Self-Care Apps.
