HONORING KAISER PERMANENTE NAPA MEDICAL OFFICES

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 157 (Monday, October 5, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 157 (Monday, October 5, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1015] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING KAISER PERMANENTE NAPA MEDICAL OFFICES ______ HON. MIKE THOMPSON of california in the house of representatives Monday, October 5, 2026 Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Kaiser Permanente Napa Medical Offices on their 75th Anniversary as they celebrate decades of high quality, compassionate care and commitment to the health and well-being of Napa County. Kaiser Permanente is the nation's largest non-profit integrated health care system, bringing physicians, care teams, hospitals, pharmacies, and health plans together to provide coordinated, high quality and affordable care. Kaiser Permanente is nationally recognized for excellence in prevention, specialty care and clinical outcomes, supported by advanced medical research, innovation and leading Centers of Excellence. Guided by its mission to improve the health of its members and the communities it serves, Kaiser Permanente invests in programs that expand access to care, address social drivers of health and advance community well-being. Kaiser Permanente began caring for Napa families in 1951 and today serves approximately 45,000 members throughout Napa Valley and the surrounding region. Napa Medical Offices have provided generations of local families with compassionate, coordinated care, offering primary, specialty, behavioral health, pharmacy, laboratory, diagnostic and other essential services in one convenient location. Kaiser Permanente and the Trefethen family share a significant historical connection through Eugene ``Gene'' Trefethen, a trusted leader within the Kaiser enterprises who played an influential role in shaping the partnership between Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and its medical groups. Eugene Trefethen's leadership helped strengthen the integrated health care model that enabled Kaiser Permanente to grow into the nationally respected health system it is today, creating a lasting legacy that connects two important chapters of Napa Valley and California history. Kaiser Permanente has demonstrated its enduring commitment to Napa County through community partnerships, volunteerism, and more than $15 million in investments supporting the health and well-being of local residents as of 2026. Mr. Speaker, Kaiser Permanente has dedicated 75 years of service to Napa County with Eugene Trefethen's lasting contributions. Therefore, it is fitting and proper that we honor the Kaiser Permanente Napa Offices here today. ____________________
