Wednesday (April 9) in Vancouver, more than 50 Kaiser Permanente employees rolled up their sleeves to celebrate National Volunteer Month with a Vancouver community cleanup event in partnership with SOLVE.

Armed with gloves and trash bags, Northwest staff gathered outside the Kaiser Permanente Cascade Park Medical Office before heading out in teams to collect litter and help beautify the surrounding neighborhood.

“Volunteering and giving back to the communities we serve is so important to Kaiser Permanente and our employees,” said Ron Shoals, Community Relations, Kaiser Permanente Northwest. “Cleaner communities are healthier communities, and this is one way we can support the well-being of our neighbors right here in Vancouver.” The event is one of 25 volunteer activities Kaiser Permanente employees are taking part in throughout April, all aimed at supporting healthier, more vibrant communities.
