Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest integrated, nonprofit health system, today announced it has awarded $8.15 million to support 40 nonprofit and community-based organizations across the nation, whose programs address systemic racism and its accompanying trauma on individuals and communities of color.
This includes $1 million for 10 organizations in Southern California, and is part of a $25 million commitment Kaiser Permanente announced in June to promote health equity and break the cycle of racism-driven stresses that lead to poor health outcomes for its communities. Kaiser Permanente serves 4.7 million members in Southern California.

The Pacific Life Foundation not only provides funding to organizations, but also supports these organizations through volunteer efforts with the Pacific Life Good Guys program.

Additionally, the Pacific Life Foundation will continue to match all employee donations to nonprofits and universities.

People are praying for her husband all over the world, Lizbeth Garcia told the doctors. From American churches. Latin American churches. He’s a pastor, she wanted them to know, this man who lay in a hospital bed, felled by COVID-19 and with so many tubes sticking out of him that she found it hard to reach for his hand.
A pastor herself, she and Hector Garcia co-lead Iglesia Celebracion de Vida in Edgewood, near their Federal Way home. When he became ill in October, and airlifted to a Portland hospital because of a machine offering a last-ditch chance to save his life, word spread.
