A luncheon last week attended by more than 300 people helped cap off a week’s worth of events to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of Kaiser Permanente’s Park Shadelands Medical Offices.
When the facility first opened in 1992, there were less than ten practicing physicians at the site. Now, there are 61 Permanente Medical Group physicians practicing in partnership with 370 staff.
“It is a real privilege for this site to grow alongside Walnut Creek and be a part of the community,” said Julie Sher, Assistant Medical Group Administrator for Kaiser Permanente’s Park Shadelands Medical Offices. “We want to ensure that all of our members have access to the expert medicine and great doctors that Kaiser Permanente provides. This location really makes it easy and convenient for our members to get the care they need.”
