At the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group, the trusting relationship between skilled doctors who care about and for their patients is central to the way we practice medicine. We lead the nation in preventive care for adults and children. We excel in health education, early detection, and careful management of chronic diseases. Patient care decisions are yours.

Permanente physicians from across the country share best practices regarding the most effective medical care, new developments in research, and the latest medical technologies. In our communities, our physicians appear regularly in top physician lists in magazines such as Washingtonian, Baltimore Magazine, and the Washington Consumer Checkbook. Our physicians respect diverse cultures and lifestyles.

Many of our physicians hold academic appointments at universities and hospitals, and serve on health-related boards and committees. We will encourage you to join your colleagues who participate in research studies with partners such as NIH, Johns Hopkins and other medical facilities as well as Kaiser Permanente's own Division of Research.
