015: Day 2 Backing Community Leaders Beyond the Crisis
In this powerful talk, a Sonoma County native and Kaiser Permanente leader shares how the organization invested nearly $24 million in post-disaster recovery efforts after the Tubbs Fire. Through partnerships with 65 nonprofits, the initiative focused on four pillars—economic security, mental health and resilience, housing stability, and community infrastructure. From funding the first health equity planner for the City of Santa Rosa to supporting undocumented workers and scaling mental health access in schools, this talk highlights how listening to community voices can shape equitable, long-term recovery. The presentation also spotlights regional efforts in Maui and Southern California, showing how Kaiser Permanente’s civic partnerships continue to strengthen community health across the nation.
