Kaiser Permanente Commits $1M to American Heart
Association Impact Fund Honoring Bernard J. Tyson

     In honor of the legacy of its late chairman and CEO Bernard J. Tyson, Kaiser Permanente is committing a $1 million grant to the American Heart Association’s Bernard J. Tyson Impact Fund. This national fund, led by AHA and Tyson’s widow, Denise Bradley-Tyson, was created with the mission to reduce the social and economic barriers to health equity by investing in local social entrepreneurs and organizations. Tyson passed away unexpectedly on November 10, 2019.
    “Bernard was on a determined mission to transform health care in America, and through his leadership helped bring issues of equity into the mainstream. He touched so many lives, and I know through his legacy he will continue to touch lives,” said Greg A. Adams, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente.
      Kaiser Permanente is recognized as one of America’s leading health care providers and not-for-profit health plans. Currently, they serve 12.4 million members in eight states and the District of Columbia.
