Drawing on the extensive clinical experience and research of an integrated health care system -- as well as from research centers internationally -- Kaiser Permanente's Care Management Institute (CMI) synthesizes knowledge about successful clinical approaches in order to create, implement, and evaluate effective and efficient care management programs.

Kaiser Permanente is a leader nationally in joining forces with others, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to combat the epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States . Kaiser Permanente's Weight Management Initiative, led by KP-CMI, unites clinicians, researchers, insurers, and policymakers in a collaborative strategic effort to address this critical public health issue.
