Everyone should have successful schools, clean air, accessible parks, safe playgrounds, and fresh fruits and vegetables in neighborhood stores. At Kaiser Permanente, we’re working to improve the conditions for health and equity in the communities we serve.

　　Internship Project(s):

　　The field of Food Is Medicine (FIM) is quickly advancing with opportunities for KP to continue to build the evidence, establish new partnerships, and influence policy and direction. This highlights an opportunity for Kaiser Permanente to further differentiate themselves as a leader in the FIM space by coordinating between existing portfolios of FIM initiatives and deploying them at national or regional scale far and beyond that of our competitors.

　　This project focuses on the implementation of the FIM Program strategy across the organization with targeted populations. The work requires extensive engagement with critical internal and external partners and stakeholders such as: KP School of Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine Leadership, Center for Healthy Living, Community Leaders, etc.
