Think Out Loud

Kaiser Permanente in the Northwest is putting more than $5 million into housing homeless seniors by the end of the year. The goal is to find housing for 300 medically vulnerable seniors, who might otherwise have a higher rate of hospital admissions and emergency room visits. Ruth Adkins, of Kaiser Permanente Northwest, and Alyssa Craigie, Director of Health System Integration at Health Share Oregon, will help to administer the program.
